MU Marketing Resources for Student Orgs
In order to best serve the needs of our ISU students and campus partners, we will be making the following price updates to our flyer distribution service effective July 1, 2023. We will be increasing the price of this advertising service to $40, a $10 increase from years prior. This increase ensures we can provide high-quality and cost-effective advertising services for student organizations while managing rising overhead costs. As always, we are committed to providing top-notch customer service when students chose the Memorial Union for their advertising needs. Flyer distribution is just one of the many low-cost marketing resources that are available to all student organizations.

Preserve Your Organization's History with University Archives
Student organizations play an important role in college life and have a lasting impact on the University. Because of the nature of being a student sees you leave after graduating, much of the history of an organization can be lost or forgotten over time. The Iowa State University Archives invites student organizations to partner with us to help preserve your organization’s history, including especially its creation, development, priorities, and activities.
We value the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. All organizations are welcome and part of the ISU legacy. We particularly welcome organizations of minoritized groups and activists who have often been left out, erased, or otherwise lack a sense of belonging in archives.
For more information on how to participate, please contact Rebecca Wells, Student Life Archivist, at rwells@iastate.edu.
