Promoting Your Org

The Center for Student Involvement offers a variety of communication tools to help you connect with your peers and effectively promote your Registered Student Organization (RSO) and events. Whether you're aiming to share exciting updates on our social media channels or showcase your organization’s ads on our office LCD screens, we have platforms to amplify your message. Please note, that the center reserves the right to post content at its discretion.

Communication Tools and Platforms

AggieLife

RSOs need to update their AggieLife page and add events. Our office and the division of Student Affairs regularly promote AggieLife to the general student audience, so having your up-to-date information and events on this platform is critical for reaching the general student body. 

Involvement Fair

The Involvement Fair is our annual club fair! RSOs will share their organization’s mission, activities, service projects and programs while recruiting new members from the thousands of students exploring how to get involved on campus. Check our Involvement Fair page for information about how to sign up your RSO. 

Tabling

Your RSO can reserve the tables at the Memorial Union and the Silo to promote your organization. Tabling is a great way to engage directly with students and share information about your mission, meetings and activities while recruiting new members. Many RSOs also use the tables to fundraise for their organizations.

Posters/Flyers

RSOs are permitted to post information on outdoor bulletin boards without prior approva, and on indoor bulletin boards with departmental approval from the authorized representative per the UC Davis Temporary Posting Policy. Postings must include the name of your RSO. Make sure to get prior approval where required, keep to size limits and remove postings promptly after events. Graffiti and chalking are strictly prohibited. 

A-Frames

RSOs can promote their events using A-Frames following the guidelines on the Memorial Union website. A-Frames may only be placed on decomposed granite areas near sidewalks. They must advertise a specific event with date, time and location or they will be removed.
