Event Promotion Guidelines
It is our goal as the A&S Communications Collective to proactively partner with our campus colleagues to identify and promote projects, events, and accomplishments that position the School of Arts and Sciences as an exceptional and robust academic community. In addition to the promotional materials listed below, press release and social media options are also available. If you are interested in partnering with the A&S Communications Collective, please contact Jennifer Lo Prete, communications manager.
Please keep in mind that successful communications materials need a sufficient amount of time to be produced; the more time we have to plan for your event, the more thoughtful we can be with our recommended marketing strategy. A minimum of six weeks is needed for most events.
Need promotional materials for your event or lecture? Please contact, Jennifer Lo Prete.
University, A&S, and Department/Interdisciplinary Program Webpage Calendars
The University's calendar is a resource for campus units to promote their events to the wider University community. The calendar is public, and events can be cross-listed on any number of sites that are related to that event. University Communications maintains a list of tags for campus units, as well as categories of tags — such as "Student Life" or "Academics" — that users can use to filter.
