Input Needed: Ivan Allen College Banner Campaign |
The Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts Communications team is working on a campaign, and we could use your help.
To build awareness about IAC on campus, we’re planning to put up lamppost banners featuring IAC students (undergraduate and graduate) doing cool things at the intersection of liberal arts and STEM. Lamppost banners are the banners you see along walkways (currently featuring Transforming Tomorrow content).
We'd love to hear any suggestions you might have for students we can feature. If you have a student you'd like to recommend, please use this form and let us know you're suggesting a student for the banner campaign. We look forward to hearing from you!
