Spreading the Word About Imagine RIT

RIT Community,

Please read the following message if you are interested in learning how you can help spread the word about Imagine RIT.

As we plan for our third Innovation and Creativity Festival we would like to know if you are interested in being on any of our distribution lists for Imagine RIT informational material. Review the following internal and external categories and let us know if you would like us to add your name to any of the lists.

Internal
Outreach to RIT students, faculty and staff about proposal submissions, contests, and volunteer opportunities.

RIT Systems Administrators List
Please let us know if you run a computer lab and are willing to make Imagine RIT related information the wallpaper on the computers in your lab. We will send you the images; all you have to do is update the settings.

Connections with Students List
Are you in regular contact with students? I hope so! We have found that messages from faculty and staff that students know hold much more salience than a Message Center email. If you are inclined to encourage students to participate in Imagine RIT and would like to received flyers in PDF format to email or print and hang in your area – please let us know.

Digital Display Administrators List
We think we have the names of most of the administrators of the various on campus television displays, but if you are one and haven’t received an email from me this year then please let me know if you are wiling to help. I’ll send you images formatted for television slides shows in PDF or PowerPoint format.

External
Our post event surveys show that as many people find out about Imagine RIT through “Word of Mouth” than our traditional marketing efforts. Forwarding messages to friends, family, professional associations, co-op employers, alumni, and colleagues at other Universities are ways you can help us target key constituencies of RIT.

RIT Event Planners List
Do you host events where members of the community visit our campus? If so, please let us know if you are interested in helping spread the word about Imagine RIT. We may be able to provide “Save the Date Cards” or other pertinent information to your guests.

K-12 Programs List
Do you host programs for students in grades K-12? We respect the often confidential nature of distribution lists, so please let us know if you are interested in receiving targeted communication that you can easily forward on to your contacts.

Parents of School Children List
We are making an extra effort to reach out to school children this year. If you are involved in your child’s school and willing to pass information on to your child’s teachers or administrators – please let us know.

Other List
Would you like to receive promotional emails that are easy to forward on to professional associations, mentoring organizations, boards, non-profit associations or other groups you belong to? Just let us know!

Messages to all lists will be sent with limited frequency via blind copy. Please respond to this message if you would like to be added to any of these distribution lists and be sure to mention which list you would like to be added to.

Thank you,
