Ways to Promote Your Event On Campus
All Campus Email
The All Campus Email is a bi-weekly email that goes out to every Carleton student on campus late Sunday and Wednesday nights. It includes information about events on campus. Submissions are due at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesdays & Saturdays.
Visit the all campus guidelines to send an announcement to promote your event. The easiest way to submit is to send an email directly to campus_announcements@carleton.edu.
Banners
Hang a banner up to four feet long so people can read about your event while snacking or studying in Sayles Great Space. Reserve your banner online and review the full list of guidelines.
Banner paper and paint are provided in the Student Activities Office; to create your banner, come into the Student Activities Office. Be sure to include your event name, place, and time!
Digital Signage
Digital signs are available in various public locations throughout the campus. Create a short, 10-second ad that displays the date, location, time, and a short description of the event. Be sure that this information is clear and concise. Submission guidelines can be found on the digital signage website.
Events Calendar
For student groups with websites, post your events on the campus calendar. For groups that do not have a website, email the Student Activities Office with the event details. We can assist you in promoting your event on the calendar.
Posters
A poster should include the date and time of your event and a short description. Funny pictures and puns are encouraged, so brush up on your Photoshop skills and your sense of humor to grab people’s attention! Be sure to use clear fonts and contrasting colors. View the posting policy for more specifics prior to posting.
Posters can be printed (in black & white or color!) by Print Services for a small fee.
Student Group Email Lists
Don’t forget to send a message out to your student group email list and tell members about your event!
Tabling
Set up a table in Sayles and have people available to talk up your event! See table guidelines and reservation information. It is a good idea to bring candy or goodies to lure people to your table! There is banner paper available in the Student Activities Office if you’d like to promote your cause at your table.
Carleton Today
Have an event relevant to FACULTY & STAFF you’d like to advertise? Submit the details to Carleton Today. This weekly newsletter is emailed every Thursday morning to all faculty, staff, and students. The deadline to submit content is noon on Monday to be considered for that week’s issue.
