Ready-to-use social media assets are available for staff to help spread the word about our upcoming Open Days.
With our autumn Open Days on Saturday 10 October and Saturday 7 November fast approaching, preparations are underway across the University to give prospective students a taste of life at Sussex.
From academic talks and demonstrations; to campus tours and student activities, colleagues across Faculties and professional services are working together to create a memorable experience for visitors. We can all play a part before the events, by helping more people hear about it and book to attend.
Sharing Open Day content on your own social media channels is a simple way to extend our reach. This can help us connect with prospective students, parents and others who might be considering Sussex.
How you can help
Marketing colleagues have prepared a ready-to-use social media asset for you to download and use.
And here’s what you can do:
- Share the dates: Saturday 10 October and Saturday 7 November
- Share our posts: Help amplify University content through your own networks
- Spread the word: Think about friends, family, school and college contacts who might be interested
- Encourage people to book by sharing our Undergraduate Open Day information and booking links for October and November.
We also have a PhD Open Evening on Wednesday 11 November and a Virtual Masters Open Day taking place on Saturday 28 November – both available to book now.
Every share helps us reach someone who could be our next student. We’re looking forward to seeing what happens next!
