Electronic Communications
UM&PR, in conjunction with the UNI Foundation, UNI Alumni Association and the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, maintains an electronic communications software system that is linked to the Millennium alumni database. With it we can segment alumni lists to send e-newsletters and other communications to UNI alumni. Lists can be segmented by majors, geographic location, and many other criteria.
A key part of the process is strict adherance to federal and state laws on e-communications, including the federal Can-Spam law. Steps are also taking with every mailing to prevent the uni.edu domain from being blacklisted by Internet Service Providers.
Exhibition Support
Tradeshows and tabletop display units and table drapes are available through UM&PR for on- or off-campus events. Faculty, staff or student groups may use the displays. We can custom-design your display, or you can choose from our library if appropriate. Design charges apply for custom display work.
We have a variety of university promotional items that may be appropriate for your conference or exhibit event, including items appropriate for both children and adults. You can consult the list below for ideas and costs, or contact UM&PR for more information.
