The information below is designed to be a quick guide to publicizing events at Marquette. For complete details, click the links on the left of this page.

NOTE: If your event is sponsored/cosponsored by a registered student organization, see pages 47-53 of the Student Organization Handbook. All events must be registered with the Office of Student Development, and publicity must be approved.

Posters

Large format posters (20 inches and larger—36 inches wide maximum) can be printed through the Office of Student Development for a minimal fee (about 11 cents an inch). Printing can take up to 7 working days depending upon the current workload. If you are interested in having OSD print posters for you, please submit a work order to Jennifer Reid (AMU 121).

Other posters or flyers can be printed through any of the Marquette University approved print vendors. For a list of the vendors, contact Jennifer Reid.

All posters need to be stamped by the Office of Student Development before they go up around campus (including residence halls). All events being publicized must be registered with the Office of Student Development before publicity will be approved. It generally takes no longer than 24 hours for publicity to be approved.

Campus Connection

We are happy to highlight your organization's event in Campus Connection. This publication is distributed at the start of each semester, so plan ahead and submit your organizations information by July 25 for the Fall semester and November 20 for the Spring semester.

Organizations Update

This update is sent to approximately 750 leaders of student organizations via an e-mail distribution list. Contact our office if you wish to include a submission to the email about your event.

Marquette Tribune

The Tribune charges for actual advertisements, but sometimes a well-written press release (see p.51, "Writing a Press Release", in this handbook) with a good amount of advanced warning will encourage one of the reporters to cover your event. Though you pay for advertising, having them write an article is FREE! Also, consider writing a Viewpoints letter to get published a couple days in advance of your event.

Display case:

AMU:	The Event Management Office (AMU 245) is the place to reserve 1st floor display cases – an excellent way to advertise big events FREE for two weeks.
Raynor Library:	The library display cases are also available (tons of foot traffic through this space means GREAT publicity). Reserve these by stopping into the dean’s office (Rm. 106) or calling Michael Pate, at 288-7214.

Table tents

For tents in both the AMU and the Residence Halls, be sure to have them stamped by the Office of Student Development. As with all flyers, approvals generally take 24 hours. To reserve space, contact the Event Management Office (AMU 245) for the AMU, Rick Arcuri (Carpenter Tower 203) for the Residence Halls, and Mike Martin, Dean’s Office, for the Brew at the Bridge in the Raynor Memorial Libraries (See p.50 for more information.)

AMU Stairwell banners

The AMU Event Management Office (AMU 245) reserves banner space in the main stairwell. Stop in the office or give them a call at 288-7202. They do request that banners be professionally done, but that doesn’t mean they have to be expensive. Contact the Office of Student Development (AMU 121) for information on how to design a banner that can be printed for free.
