Publicizing Events

There are a variety of communications tools available to publicize events of interest to faculty, staff and students at the Boston University Medical Campus and the Boston Medical Center. They include printed publications, e-publications and calendar listings.

If you would like to publicize an event on an easel, the only approved easel location is in the lobby of the School of Medicine. To reserve an easel send an e-mail to emc_roomscheduling_bumc@bu.edu.  Please include your contact information, date of event, and dates you are requesting the easel.

Flyers

There are three public locations to post event flyers: top of stairs in the Newton Pavilion; lobby of the School of Medicine and in the hallway between the Menino Pavilion and the emergency department.  Flyers should include an appropriate institution logo and/or name of sponsoring department.  Flyers need to be approved by Corporate Communications prior to posting.
