Publicizing Your Organization and Events:

Guidelines For Relatively Inexpensive Or Free Publicity

To Publicize in the University Residence Halls

Guidelines for posting in undergraduate Residence Halls:

• Registered Student Organizations, as well as faculty/staff offices, are allowed to post information about programs or events in residence halls. Agencies or individuals unrelated to the University are not permitted to post.
  
  
• No commercial solicitation is allowed in the advertisement.
  
  
• Postings need to advertise a program or an event. A flier espousing a viewpoint only will not be approved for posting.
  
  
• Candidates for public office can request to post fliers in the residence halls by creating a Registered Student Organization. That organization can then request permission to post information in the halls about a specific candidate.
  
  
• To receive permission to post, submit a copy of the flier to the Assistant Residence Life Director in Room 20 Slichter. If permission is granted, you can then leave 70 posters and Housing will distribute them to the staff for posting. These posters should be submitted at least 7-10 days prior to your event.

Mailbox Stuffers:

• If you wish to reserve a date, contact the following email address: mailboxstuffer@housing.wisc.edu
  
  
• Once a date is confirmed and reserved, RSOs then drop off the appropriate # of stuffers on the weeday prior to the reserved date.
  
  
• The RSO needs to have their organization name printed on the stuffer to ensure accuracy.
  
  
• Any stuffer that is not for all residents, such as all women or all men, will need to be sent through US mail.
  
  
• Stuffers do not need mailing labels.
  
  
• Additional limits on use, such as how often an RSO can stuff mailboxes, will be determined by the Residence Halls Advisory Board early in the academic year.
  
  
• Desk staff will do a maximum of 2 stuffers per desk per day, Monday through Friday.
  
  
• Additional questions can be directed to mailboxstuffers@housing.wisc.edu or call 262-8251.
  

Door-to-Door:

• Door-to-door contact with residents is prohibited.
