You are hanging tons of fliers, and you still can’t seem to get people to come to your events. You have a Facebook group but that’s not helping either. Let’s face it - getting students to come to your organization meeting or event is difficult, especially with hundreds of other organizations targeting the exact same people. Promoting your organization can be easier and more effective with some intentional planning. In this session, you will learn how to plan an effective marketing campaign, make those fliers more effective (or ditch them all together), use social media more effectively, and utilize specific on-campus resources at Drexel to grow involvement in your organization.

Many of us at Drexel are highly motivated to accomplish and achieve, finding great value in the work we do and are preparing to do. The meaningfulness of our work can at times lead us to be reluctant to stop accomplishing and achieving, pushing ourselves beyond healthy boundaries.
