Additional Information on popular marketing tools

eNews

  • Every year, group and program has an edition of eNews, including a Staff & Faculty edition. eNews goes out on Monday mornings.
  • Clubs are encouraged to post two articles per event: one in the "Save the Date" section, and one in "This week at Yale SOM." Submissions are due Thursday's by 1:00 p.m. Submit here.

Digital Screens

  • Clubs can have their events posted on the AASL screen and also some of the screens in the Student Commons.
  • Send your completed design to us. We'll review, suggest edits, then schedule.

Posters & Flyers

  • You can only post flyers in bathrooms and bulletin boards.
  • Send us a copy of your poster for approval. If we approve it, you will then need to go to the Mailroom on the Lower Level to get your posters stamped before they can go up. If you do get them approved from AASL and the Mailroom, they will be taken down.
  • The SOM Events Office can provide sign stanchions for events. Clients are responsible for printing and placing the signs in the stands. The SOM Events Office can provide a template for clients if they require one.
  • No signage is permitted to be fixed to glass or walls.
  • Groups may be limited to the amount of signage they can display based on availability of stanchions and other activities in the building. The SOM Events Office will review each request for sign stanchions on a case-by-case basis.
