Hosting an Event
Since we have MEMers living in Durham and studying around the world, it is advisable for clubs to host a combination of in-person and online events. As leaders of your club, think about what events translate best virtually and what are delivered better in-person. Duke expects you to hold a combination of events in order to best serve students in your program.
-
- Online – Zoom platform is best but important to think about timezones and when people can attend.
- In-person – Most club events can be held in-person for Spring 2022 semester. Approval and permit will be required for events over 100 attendees.
Advertising an Event
Once you decide to host an event, you need to get the word out.
Internal MEM communication platforms:
-
- MEM Student Hub on Teams
- The MEMo, weekly e-newsletter (submit an announcement here)
- Digital signage in MEM Suite (submit a digital flyer here)
If open to the broader Duke community and/or the public (in addition to the above methods):
-
- Pratt Events Calendar
- Duke Events Calendar
- DukeFlyer digital signage
- Personal or club Linkedin page
