Events

Increase your event attendance by publicizing through our communications vehicles - such as social media platforms, digital screens in B.C. Matthews Hall and the Expansion Building, and the Faculty of Health home page.

We can also submit Faculty of Health events for consideration in centrally-produced communications including the Waterloo Events calendar and the Daily Bulletin.

Send an email to Michelle Douglas-Mills briefly describing your event.

News or stories

Share your news or stories with your target audience - whether that is students, staff or the general public. We can help you identify your audience, draft stories, and develop strategies to spread the word.

Email Eugenia Xenos Anderson to discuss your news or stories.

Research

Think your research would make an interesting news story for the general public? From drafting press releases to pitching research to the media, we can help generate interest in your work. Contact Eugenia Xenos Anderson to learn about media outreach opportunities.

Promotional material

We can assist with a variety of special communications projects, including consulting on:

  • event flyers and posters
  • promotional items (e.g., zap banners, Tshirts, giveaways)
  • written promotional pieces such as brochures or advertising
  • the Faculty's visual identity and positioning, including direction on use of university wordmarks, colour palette, terminology etc.

Contact Eugenia Xenos Anderson for more information.

Media training

We offer media training and interview rehearsals on a request basis. Email Eugenia Xenos Anderson to book an appointment.
