Promoting A Special Event

There are a variety of communications tools available to promote special events at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

STUDENT GROUPS
Student organizations should work through Student Affairs to promote their events. Certain procedures are necessary to effectively plan a successful student event at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Guidelines have been put in place to assure that all variables are considered and that required approvals are received.

DEPARTMENTS, CENTERS AND INSTITUTES
The Office of Communications and Public Affairs is happy to help you promote your event. A few options include:

• List your special event on the University and School of Public Health’s Calendar of Events. When entering your event title, do not use an acronym for your department or group. In addition, under “Category/Subcategory,” check “Select Multiple” and then select “School of Public Health” in addition to any other event appropriate categories. Doing so will ensure that your event is listed on the JHSPH webpage.
• Send your event via the School's Monday Announcements email.
• Request an ePoster or printed poster.
• Select offices have the ability to send an email via the School’s faculty and staff listserv.
• Work with Public Affairs to alert the external news media. If you believe a topic or speaker will generate media interest or will involve dignitaries, contact Public Affairs at least one month in advance (Tim Parsons at 410-955-7619 or tmparson@jhsph.edu).

We also work with the School’s special events team (SET) to promote events, symposiums, workshops and other related activities held at the School.

Note:

• The Wall of Wonder is not a venue for event promotion. The intent of the Wall is to present public-health-themed moving art. It is intended to be a series of silent, non-distracting images that can be viewed in a nonlinear fashion.
• If you elected officials, dignitaries or other high-profile individuals will visit the School, contact our Office of Government Relations at 410-955-5194.
• All reporters and camera crews must be escorted by a Public Affairs representative while they are on campus.
