 Bulletin Boards (Res Life)

Residence halls have bulletin boards and other designated spaces for posting event flyers. Create your flyer and be sure that it includes your student organization name, date and time of event and contact information. Posters must be approved by Res Life before printing so they can have an approval stamp on them. All applications and application materials must be completed and received at least fifteen (15) business days (Monday-Friday) prior to the event, so that applications can be reviewed.  Posters must be delivered to the Res Life Office in Holcomb Hall 10 business days prior to the event.

 Bulletin Boards (Student Union)

The bulletin boards are located throughout the Student Union. Create a poster or flyer and bring 2 copies of it to the Information Center. Posters can stay up for a maximum of two weeks or until your event has ended (whichever comes first). Be sure that your organization is registered with Student Activities and that your organization name is on your poster.
