Communications campaigns have really been the focus so far this term!
In a couple of days, Michael Ignatieff will visit McMaster for an open conversation with students and faculty in a non-partisan, unbranded town hall-style forum. I am one of three Co-Chairs for the event, with Tyler Banham, a Hamilton lawyer and political organiser, Sarah Milne, president of the McMaster Young Liberals. We have organised a campus-wide communications campaign and are hoping for 300-400 people to fill McMaster’s beautiful Convocation Hall. We have had a booth, extensive flyering, postering, a successful Facebook and twitter strategy, banners and several email blasts to over 5000 people.
Now we wait for Wednesday, January 13: the day of the event.
