ORIENTATION PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO STUDENTS’ UNION
DEVELOP A PARTNERSHIP WITH US AT UTSU The University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU) invites you to take part in UTSUFest – Orientation 2013 at the University of Toronto. Through our Orientation, we engage thousands of incoming and returning students and introduce them to everything that makes life at university and in Toronto new and exciting. Our Orientation provides our valued business partners a unique branding opportunity and a highly receptive audience that is excited and eager to take in a wealth of information. This year we have enhanced our sponsorship packages to offer enriched opportunities to interact with thousands of students and create valuable experiences. In addition to product placement in our Orientation Student Survival Kits, our highly visible vendor booths at our Concert & Carnival, and our jam-packed Street Fest, we are also offering even more opportunites to engage our thousands of students through social media, our summer direct-mail package, our mobile phone app and email newsletters. The following pages describe some of the many opportunities for your organization to get involved in UTSUFest – Orientation 2013. Join Us!
