Event Promotion

Throughout the year, Columbia Mailman School groups host a wide variety of events, from lecture series and award ceremonies to film screenings and student group meetings. Once an event is ready for promotion, event managers can submit events to the "Mailman School of Public Health" calendar (use the Columbia Calendar system) and the lobby digital signage. Contact the Office of Communications for additional support for public and private events, and remember to tag Columbia Public Health in the organizer's social posts.

Questions? Email us at mailmancomm@columbia.edu.

For more specialized audiences, such as our academic departments, visit Calendar Administors.
