Student organizations and campus departments are encouraged to advertise their events within the campus community.  The Stamp offers two locations to place flyers and handbills advertising on-campus events.  The Student Involvement Suite bulletin board; and the bulletin board in the basement level of Stamp.  Due to the volume of events on-campus, posting on the bulletin boards and flyer rack is limited to two weeks prior to the event date. For more ideas and options to advertise events in the Stamp, please visit  http://thestamp.umd.edu/Events/Marketing .
