Market your events

Marketing your events is an important way to let others know about your project, especially your fellow graduate students.

Whether designing a poster or web site, writing an article for the newspaper, or sending out invitations, please use the "community building" logo in your materials. The stylized letter "G" is a mark that links your project with the support of the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education and the student life fee. All publicity materials must include this reference.

Right click (PC) or control click (Mac) and choose "Save link target as" to download the images.

Other options for publicizing your project include the following:

Graduate Student News
Write an article for the Graduate Student News to announce upcoming events, activities, and programs, or to describe a recent successful event. Refer to an issue of the newsletter for ideas about style and content, or contact the editors at gsn-editor [at] mit.edu.

Spotlight
To announce an event, request a spotlight on the homepage for MIT, or the homepage for the ODGE (e-mail odge [at] mit.edu).

Events calendar
The Graduate Community Fellow adds key dates for your project to the MIT events calendar. Please contact the Fellow about any changes or updates at grants-fellow [at] mit.edu.

Web site
Several grant authors have found it useful to create their own web sites, especially for those projects with a longer time horizon.

Posters
If you create posters to announce an upcoming event, consider postering along the route used by other student groups. Contact gslg [at] mit.edu for a copy of a recommended postering route.

Keep it going!
Contact the Graduate Community Fellow for additional suggestions about appropriate publicity at grants-fellow [at] mit.edu.

Another good source for suggestions is the graduate administrator in your department.

In the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education, Heather Fry represents the Dean's selection panel. She is happy to scan the horizon for other potential contacts. Just send e-mail to gslg [at] mit.edu!
