Need GSA Help Promoting Your Event, Program, or Announcement?
One form for all your needs!
Graduate Student Association (GSA) is excited to introduce a new Marketing Request Form designed to make it easier for graduate students, committees, departments, and campus partners to promote events, programs, and announcements across the UMBC community.
Whether you're hosting an event, sharing an opportunity, or looking to increase visibility for your initiative, GSA can help amplify your message through multiple communication channels.
What You Can Request
Through the Marketing Request Form, you can:
- Request a new myUMBC post
- Submit a myUMBC calendar event
- Request reposts of existing content
- Promote content through GSA social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, and X)
- Request flyer design assistance
Turnaround Times
To help ensure timely promotion, please keep the following timelines in mind:
- Reposts: Within 24 hours
- New myUMBC posts and calendar events: Within 48–72 hours
- Flyer design requests: May require an additional business day
Submitting complete information as early as possible helps us process your request efficiently and maximize visibility for your event or announcement.
Before You Submit
Please make sure key details—especially event locations, room reservations, and scheduling information—are finalized before submitting your request. Changes after promotional materials have been created may require rework and could delay publication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to email GSA after submitting the form?
No. Once you submit the form, no follow-up email is required. A member of the GSA Communications team will reach out if additional information is needed.
Are turnaround times guaranteed?
We strive to meet the timelines listed above whenever possible. Please note that university holidays, campus closures, and official UMBC closures are not included in these estimates.
When should I submit a repost request?
For same-day event promotion, please submit repost requests at least one day before your event.
Can GSA attend and cover my event?
Yes. If you would like event coverage, photos, stories, or social media support, please include this request in the "Anything else you would like us to know? / Custom Requests" section of the form.
