University Communications

Join the Internal Communications Committee for its "Community Engagement Showcase: Discover Connections Across Campus” from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Cohen Student Union Ballroom. The event is free and open to students and employees. Snacks and beverages will be provided, and RSVPs are not required!   The event begins at 11 a.m. with opening remarks by University Relations and Service-Learning & Civic Engagement. Guests will then use an event map as their guide to visit tables around the ballroom, enabling them to discover how FGCU and the Southwest Florida community engage with one another to drive student success and academic excellence. This event will enable FGCU students and employees to discover efforts happening across the university and connect with others.   A clock will appear on the screen in the ballroom to indicate how much time people have at each table. At the conclusion of each rotation (when the bell rings), the table presenters will stamp the map of those they spoke to, showing the guests where they have been throughout their journey around the room.    Sign Up to Table: Email the Internal Communications Committee at icc@fgcu.edu. You will receive additional information from the committee on what to expect.   What to Consider When Signing Up: Each table must be prepared to answer the following questions in a 5-minute presentation: How does FGCU work with the Southwest Florida community? How does the Southwest Florida community work with FGCU? Your presentation will be from the perspective of your office or organization, and you should follow it by a Q-and-A with guests. This is a timed event, so guests will have a set amount of time to spend at each table. Be prepared to repeat your presentation repetitively throughout the event. Format of Event: Guests will receive an event map as they enter the ballroom, detailing table locations and starter table numbers. Opening remarks at the microphone begin at 11 a.m. At 11:20 a.m., guests will be invited to visit their first table. A countdown clock will appear on the screen in the ballroom to indicate the time for each table. At the conclusion of each rotation (when the bell rings), the table presenters will stamp the map of those they spoke to, showing the guests where they have been throughout their journey around the room.  What We Will Provide: The university will provide you with one (1) banquet table, a tablecloth, and a stamp to use for the event.    What You Need to Provide: Please bring all other supplies, including display boards, handouts, giveaways, and any promotional materials. You will be responsible for removing all your items at the conclusion of the event.
