Idea approval: When it comes to idea approval, we place as few restrictions as possible on content to avoid censorship. We encourage you to be honest and authentic, share your personal experiences, and be open to learning. Ideas that are harmful, discriminatory, or mention illegal activity will not be approved. Please take the time to scroll through content on Ridgeback Student Voices to see if your idea has already been submitted or published.
Please note that it may take up to two weeks for your idea to be approved due to an influx of idea and content submissions. Once you have submitted your idea, we encourage you to review the Content Creation Guide to support your writing.
This form is for finished content. Please fill out the Submit an Idea form first to get your concept approved and receive feedback before submitting a finalized piece.

Mandatory Training
In addition to contributing content, all Ridgeback Student Voices team members are required to complete the following training in order to gain Student Experiential Record recognition at the end of the year: Content Creation Training, and Project Management training. Content Creators are only required to complete Content Creation Training.
Content Creation Training
It is advised that you complete the Content Creation Training prior to submitting any ideas or content. This training is available online by downloading the Content Creation Guide and completing the Content Creation Quiz. You need a score of at least 70% in order to pass the quiz.

You have unlimited attempts to successfully complete the quiz.
