Want to do some tabling around campus? Pluggers are a great way to hand someone information on the fly. They are quarter sheets of paper (4.25"x5.5"), printed in color or black and white, that are easy to hand out to interested people. Pluggers are very cost effective, especially black and white.
Please do not leave pluggers on tables or desks around campus— they tend to blow around and become trash. Pluggers are much more effective when handed out to people passing by. Help keep our campus litter-free!
Pluggers cannot be posted on campus bulletin boards. The smallest size we allow to be posted is half of an 8.5"x11" page.
