Start A Project


Beginning the Publicity Process

  1. Review the publicity package options below, and submit a Publicity Request Form to begin the process with our team.
    It will be important to identify your project goals, ideal student audience(s) and visual direction during the submission process.
  2. We will review your request and follow up, either to request additional information or to set up a meeting with our creative team.
  3. A publicity timeline will be established, and the design/marketing process will begin. You can expect communications from the staff assigned to your project throughout the process. If you opt for the Media Buzz package, posters are distributed about 2 weeks prior to your event (on a space available basis across campus).
  4. Event promotion begins!
