Student Life Marketing

Student Life Marketing provides support to university departments reporting to the office of the vice provost for student success and campus life in addition to any ASUM-recognized student groups. Placing student success at the center of all we do, we are here to guide you to marketing resources available across campus.

Creative Design, Event Photography, and Website Edits

If you're part of a department or group within the student life sector and need marketing support for your event or program, we're here to help. From designing promotional collateral, photographing your next event, or even website edits, we’re here to help! Fill out our student life MARKETING REQUEST FORM, and a member of our team will get in touch to discuss how we can support you! There is no charge for design work, web edits, and photography. You are responsible for requesting any printing and/or production of collateral materials and the associated cost. We prioritize our work load on first-come, first-serve basis as well as institutional prioritization needs. To ensure that we can address your requests in a timely manner, please submit marketing requests with 2 to 3 week lead time.

Posting Around Campus 

One of the best ways to advertise your event is to put up posters around campus. There are several bulletin boards open to the community throughout campus. Looking to hang posters throughout UM Housing’s residence halls? Complete a Posting Request Form and submit posters to their office in Turner Hall. If you are looking to advertise outside of the residence halls refer to our Campus Community Posting List. *subject to change*

Griz Hub Events Calendar

To help market your event further make sure to add your event and its information to Griz Hub, UM's student engagement and events calendar management platform. Events posted to Griz Hub are listed in the calendars appearing UM e-publications such as UM Student Weekly and on the UM homepage. When creating your event make sure to add Student Events and Featured as co-hosts to boost your event even further. Visit Griz Hub for access and event tutorials.
