Friday, July 15, 2016 Digital Signs the Future of Residence Hall & Dining Hall Promos
As of August 1, all promotional messages in the residence halls and dining centers will move to digital signs. Table tents will no longer be allowed as a means of promoting sustainable practices and reducing paper consumption.
University Housing constructed a strategic communications plan to install digital signs in 2014 and the first phase of installation in dining centers was completed last year. Phase two of the project identified additional key locations and installation will be ongoing throughout the 2016 academic year.
Phase three will expand signs into residence hall traffic ways. Student organizations and other university departments and affiliates can submit digital display requests for content to be included on digital signs in residence halls and dining centers.
Key policies related to the messaging include:
- Table tents are no longer accepted for display at any University Dining Center as of August 1, 2016.
- Content from RSOs can be submitted beginning August 1, 2016.
- Requests should be made through the submission website and must be submitted at least seven business days in advance prior to the proposed start date.
- Content can be posted no more than 14 days prior to the event date and is automatically removed at midnight the day the event concludes. Informal postings not associated with an event can be posted for up to three weeks.
- The University Housing marketing department reserves the right to edit any submitted material and will have discretion over all content submitted.
- Submissions are determined on a first-come, first-served basis with understanding that University Housing content takes priority over all requests.
