Promoting Your USI EventOnce you have confirmed a space for your event with USI Special Events and Scheduling, there are several ways you can help promote your event.
Add your event to the University Calendar. Be sure to fill out all fields, especially event descriptions and photo. Updating the University Calendar also ensures your event will be considered for the following communications channels:
USI Today, faculty and staff internal website and e-newsletter
External press release distribution, if open to the public
The SOURCE student activities newsletter
Possible inclusion in "This Week at USI" Instagram Stories on the USI flagship account
Be sure to submit photography or graphics to go with your event promotion or request images from Photography and Multimedia.
Fill out a Yodeck Digital Signage form (formerly SYMON System) to get messages approved to be featured on closed circuit television screens around campus.
Contact University Creative and Print for help with poster, flyer, and yard sign creation and printing. Contact Special Events and Scheduling to have posters and flyers approved for placement on bulletin boards around campus. View a map of approved yard sign locations here.
Engage is an online management tool USI students can use to find and manage co-curricular activities on campus. Engage can be accessed using your myUSI username and password.
Communicate through social media channels. USI has six official flagship University accounts and hashtags, and many departments have accounts already in place as well. A full list of accounts can be found at www.usi.edu/social-media.
