Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter, or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Keep us informed. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news.
Did you know public affairs offers a variety of items to support your department events? We’ve got your banners, flags, directional signs, easels, beverage tubs, and giant inflatable Jayhawk covered. Visit our website and fill out an event support request form to reserve the goods that will make your event shine. Additionally, you can request an appearance by our very own Baby Jay, who can greet and hang out with your guests, give photo ops, and generally create a fun atmosphere. Who doesn’t want a high five from Baby Jay? All Baby Jay appearances must have a direct connection to KUSM-W.
All of us here in public affairs are available to assist you in a number of ways when it comes to communication, public relations, and marketing. Need something edited or proofread? We can do it. Have a speech to write? We can help. Need a flier designed? Let us assist you. We can also answer questions you may have about branding, including logo use. As you may know, there are specifics when it comes to that area. If you have a project that is using a logo, run it by our office and we’ll help keep you out of trouble. Basically, contact us for any old thing. We’ll do our best to help you out. [email protected]

Some people are more capable of bouncing back after stumbling than others. That is due to their resilience. Resilience is about confronting crises without being overwhelmed by them. Resilient people are better able to handle life’s stressors and adapt to changing situations. Adults and children can develop resilience by improving self-esteem, cultivating a strong system of social support, and taking care of their physical and mental health. 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 25 “How to Deal with A Difficult Person” 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 22 “How to Receive Criticism and Make it Work for You” Register here.
