Promote Your Event
Are you planning an event at the Institute? If so, there are a couple of things you might want to keep in mind.
- Is your event open to the public? If so, I can help you post your event on the University of Minnesota events calendar and the Humphrey School website. Some newspapers may include your event in their calendar section at no cost but must have the event information at least two weeks prior to the event. Include the name of the event (title of lecture, topic of discussion, etc.), the event location and address (don't forget to include the street address as well as the building and room number), the time, cost (even if it's free), and a phone number.
- Is the event newsworthy? Is it a one-of-a-kind or first-time event? Does it feature a well-known speaker? Are you sponsoring an event about a topic that's in the news? If so, local media may be interested. Call me (612-624-1190) or E-mail jlund@umn.edu to discuss a possible press release.
