[Campus-rutgers-staff] Publicity!

[Prachi Pendse]

The example schedule looks great! Can you put it on the website? The only
thing I'd suggest is moving up snacking/socializing by half an hour so we
get the last half hour to clean up.

I don't mind opening the event to non-Rutgers students, though I would not
know how to advertise the event to them.

As a next step I'll work on creating a flyer for the event. It might be
Thursday by the time it's ready since I'm pretty busy tomorrow.

with the Columbia event (which is also open to all students.)  If you're
worried about Rutgers students having the chance to attend we can make sure
to prioritize them in the sign up process.

We don't have to use the entire time if that's too long. We can keep the
event as is from 12:30-4:30 and just note that there would be food provided
an hour before.
