Everything you need to know for a successful Summer Camp
Summer Camp is right around the corner! Things you’ll learn more about this year include donor communications, giving through email and tools for websites — just to name a few. Take it all in while connecting with your fellow ASU leaders, doers, shapers and innovators.
Sessions kick off on Monday, July 12.
But first, here’s a checklist to make the most of your camp experience.

Follow these steps:

Ready, set, get organized.
Join the conversation in Slack
In the new ASU Marketing and Communications Slack workspace, tune in on our #general channel each day for camp updates, interactive discussions, polls and other ways to connect with your amazing, creative ASU community.
This will also be the best place to ask your questions.

Watch your email inbox
You’ll receive an email kicking off each morning at camp. This email will include all the information you need to make the most of your day, including your session agenda, Zoom links and a little something extra to keep you inspired.
Update your Zoom
Don’t let technical difficulties hinder your experience. Open Zoom and check that you are running the latest version. If not, update it now so you can attend your camp sessions stress-free. Not sure how? Here’s a quick guide for you.

Summer of Care vaccination campaign
Last week ASU launched its Summer of Care vaccination campaign. The goal of this campaign is to engage immersion (on campus) students who have not been vaccinated or have not uploaded their vaccination card to myhealth.asu.edu. This campaign will run through the month of July. As a thank you to those students who have been vaccinated and uploaded their vaccination card, weekly drawings will be held for a wide range of prizes including two tickets on the 50-yard-line to watch the Territorial Cup football game against UArizona and multiple $250 Visa gift cards. Full details on the campaign can be found in the new toolkit.
Below are some quick links to help you navigate the toolkit:
- Unit contribution expectations
- Summer of Care Campaign
- Social media content calendar
- Approved messages
- Approved graphics
University leadership has asked that we increase our vaccination campaign efforts significantly. To ensure these goals are met, we need help from every unit. Please refer to the unit contribution slide in the toolkit for specifics on expectations from units.
The new toolkit will be updated weekly with new graphics for the campaign, along with other supporting content and resources such as a list of FAQs and social media responses for feedback you may receive on your channels. Be sure to check back every Monday.
