Dear campus colleagues,
Thank you for choosing to present this “Bulletin Board in a Bag:” Summer
in your area this June – August.
In this packet, and any attached documents, you will find everything
you need to begin a great bulletin board. The information presented
was gathered by CME student staff from personal research unless stated otherwise. Past and future BBBs are posted on our Publications
website: www.du.edu/cme/resources/publications.html
How to use
We’ve provided several flyer-sized pages of information, intended to get your board started. For the most part, the Board is just print and
post ready. Color is obviously most eye-catching, but most of the graphics should be fine in black and white/grayscale if necessary. We
strongly suggest researching and adding additional information that would be of most interest to your particular audience (relevant
communities in home states/nations, campus/community activities that appeal to majors and hobbies); this can help expand the board
and improve its impact.
If available at the time of publication, we’ve also included information about relevant campus/ community events that you can post as
well. You can always check our online calendar (right–most column of www.du.edu/cme), the relevant Joint Council student organization
www.du.edu/cme/programs-services/joint-council.html) and/or other sources to see what events and resources you can add to your
Board. And, consider attending one/some of these events too!
Feedback
If you use the board, to help us know where our boards have been, and how audiences have responded to them, please email us
([email protected]) the following:
• Your name, hall and floor where the board is posted
• A photo or two of the board up
• A brief description of any reaction/feedback the board generated on your community,
• And any feedback you have about this board or ideas for other Inclusive Excellence-related identities/issues/observances we could
provide for the future.
(And in the unfortunate event there’s any defacement or other negative reaction to the board, please follow your hall’s reporting
procedures, and let us know.)
THANKS for sharing this important, and interesting, info with your audiences!
