Can someone tell me what/when the item in the photo is?

I came here for help on what this is and when it's from aside from the obvious being an autographed Gene Roddenberry flyer. It was an event at the student union at the University of Arizona. I am far from an expert on Star Trek items so I am hoping there are some who can shed some light on what I have here. It was picked up at an estate sale along with some other items. I am going to have it authenticated but need to know what the event is that is mentioned in the flyer. Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't think that as a new user I can post a pic but I can use a link to a photo of the item.... I think.

Roddenberry would visit college campuses to promote Star Trek in the 70s (usually showing the blooper reel and an episode or two as indicated on the flyer). April 2nd falls on a Monday in 1973 which is the most likely date for this event.
 
1973.

April 2 fell on a Monday that year, and "Genesis II" aired in March of 1973, so it would make sense for a promotional poster to mention it in connection with Roddenberry.
This would have been at the Gallagher Theater at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.
This archived newspaper page from a few days before that also mentions Roddenberry's upcoming appearance: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/17747157/
