Advertising in Residence Halls

Have a student event or information to share?

Thank you for your interest in posting signs in the residence halls. At this time, we are not posting flyers in the halls. 

Any organization or group can post signs on general posting boards in each commons area.  The group is responsible for hanging and removing signs when the event is over.

You may submit content for approval on our digital signs and in our Stall Stories.
