3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1) Whom should I contact with questions? Contact Danika Delano, FIUTS Student Programs Coordinator at danika@fiuts.org. Please write Corporate Sponsorship in the subject line. Danika can also be reached at Monday- Friday, 10 AM-4 PM. 2) I would like to directly reach students and community members, do you offer any tabling or speaking opportunities? Yes, there are several options to speak directly with students and community members connected to FIUTS. The current tabling opportunities at Fall International Student Orientation are Greeting Table, International Welcome Ceremony, FIUTS Seattle Challenge Send-Off, FIUTS Community BBQ, and Wednesday Lunch. Additionally, we do allow select sponsors to give a short 2-minute welcome speech at Early Fall Start Orientation and table during the morning breakfast and breaks throughout the day. 3) Why can t students sign up for accounts (i.e. bank accounts, cell phone contracts, etc.) on-campus? A campus & state-wide policy states that sponsors cannot collect any personal information from student on campus. Sponsors can give out as much information as they would like, but cannot collect names, s, or any other personal information. 4) I would like to distribute fliers and/or swag, what are the best ways to do that? The best way is as a Welcome Packet sponsor. This level of sponsorship allows you to submit a one-page insert in the new student welcome packets that are prepared for all new students. Additionally, tabling sponsors are able to distribute fliers and swag to interested students during an event. We are happy to accept pens or other useful items to give to students during orientation events, use as prizes, and/or display fliers in our office. 5) I would like new students to know that I will be at International Student Orientation before they arrive in Seattle, is that possible? It depends. We send out a series of 8 pre-arrival s to all incoming students starting in July. Topics of the pre-arrival s include cell phones, banking, transportation, and housing. If the sponsor is deemed by FIUTS staff to be a good fit and has submitted their commitment form before the July 1 st deadline, it is possible to include the names of our sponsors and a link to their information. 6) When is the deadline for submitting my completed commitment form? Commitment forms returned by Monday, July 13th, 2015 receive preferential sponsorship assignments. After the July 13th deadline, assignments will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis until all spaces are full. The one-page inserts for welcome packets must be received by staff by Monday, August 25 th at the latest. Wednesday Lunch sponsors must confirm at least one week in advance. 7) What information do I need to send the FIUTS staff? All sponsors must return a completed commitment form that can be found on the last page of this packet. Additionally, sponsors need to send FIUTS an approved high-resolution jpeg image of their logo that will be used on posters, our website, and orientation program. You may also submit a one-sentence description for the FIUTS website s sponsorship page.
