#campusandcommunity - April 13, 2022
Across the globe, campuses and their host communities enhance the lives of many through their economic and civic partnerships. You are invited to join ITGA in spotlighting some of the amazing work going on within your community or organization as we prepare for the inaugural Campus & Community Day on April 13, 2022.
Here are a few easy ways to participate:
- Personalize the press release for your community and send it out to your local media, including newspapers, talk shows, morning radio shows and network news.
- Coordinate on-air interviews for April 13, 2022, featuring leaders and newsmakers on your campuses and in your communities.
- Work with newspapers and other local media for promotion prior to April 13 and special coverage of any coordinated activities on #campusandcommunity Day.
- Engage campus and community partners in your area – even if they aren’t currently members of ITGA! – and plan an event that will take place on April 13, 2022. Examples might include:
- a community service project that brings together faculty, staff, students and community leaders;
- do a press release with the Mayor and University or College President standing in front of the entrance from town into campus highlighting the relationship between the organizations;
- Don’t have time to plan an official event on April 13? Don’t worry! Why not:
- create a TikTok video in advance with cameos from local community and campus “stars” showcasing where campus and community intersect and release it on April 13;
- promote work done throughout the 2021-2022 school year with special posts on April 13 using photos from previous events; or
- take a special photo of elected officials on campus or the school mascot in town — supporting local businesses, sitting in on a City Council meeting — for promotion on April 13.
