Campus Communication
1. Bulletin Boards, Posters and Other Promotional Pieces: Posters, table cards, signs and flyers must be approved at the Office of Student Activities, located in Student Life, before posting or distributing on campus. All pieces, except those advertising upcoming academic courses or tours, will be given a maximum of 30 days approval. Each piece must have an original stamp from the Office of Student Activities. Photocopies of stamped pieces will be removed by building custodians as will any materials without a stamp. Some buildings require additional approval. Promotional materials to be distributed in the residence halls must have the approval of the residence hall deans.
Designs for promotional pieces should be approved before printing. This can be done by bringing a sample in person or by emailing your design to slife@andrews.edu (using .pdf or .jpg format). All posters submitted for approval will require a 24-hour processing period. Posters submitted before 5 p.m. may be picked up for posting at noon the following day. Printing can be done on-campus by LithoTech (269-471-6027).
In order to receive approval, promotional materials:
- Must be no more than 11 X 17 inches in size
- Must include the name of the event and sponsoring campus organization or department (Student Activities approval is required before posting)
- Must conform to all Student Handbook standards with regard to dress code, condoned activities, acceptable language, etc.
- Must include your first and last name and contact information if you are selling, renting or offering your personal services
Also note that:
- Due to limited display space, classified ads for individuals with items for rent or for sale may be approved for posting, but advertisements for businesses or business opportunities will not be approved for posting.
- Materials using the Andrews University name or logo must first receive approval from the Division of Integrated Marketing & Communication.
- In the interest of full disclosure, external materials will be affixed with a label identifying the event or organization as not associated with the University.
- Handwritten pieces are discouraged.
The Office of Student Activities reserves the right to refuse posting rights to any person, group or activity when it deems it wise to do so.
Bulletin boards are located in many University buildings. Posters must be placed in these designated areas only and within the numeric limits set by each building manager. Please do not attach posters to any painted or glass surfaces or post on top of, or in the place of, other posters. Tent cards placed in the Dining Center require the additional approval of Dining Services. Flyers must be handed personally to students and may not be placed on cars. Your courtesy is appreciated.
2. Websites and Social Media: The University provides each student organization with a page on orgsync.com that includes the organization’s officers, advisor and a list of past and current activities, as well as a link to the organization’s website (if provided). Student organizations that use the Internet or social media to promote their organization or events are held responsible in written and visual work for upholding University standards with regard to dress code, condoned activities, acceptable language, etc.
3. Student Movement: Those interested in advertising in the student newspaper should contact the Student Movement editor at smeditor@andrews.edu for options and pricing.
4. Andrews Agenda: The Andrews Agenda is a campus-wide electronic newsletter produced by the Division of Integrated Marketing & Communication (IMC). Twice a week during the academic year, an email highlighting the newest campus news and announcements is sent to all students, faculty/staff and a list of off-campus subscribers. The Andrews Agenda website, andrews.edu/agenda, is updated daily. Sections include: Andrews in the News, Calendar of Upcoming Events, Campus Announcements, Community Announcements, Campus News, Classifieds, Life Stories, Today’s Menu at Dining Services and Week in Pictures. All students, staff and faculty are invited to contribute content to the Andrews Agenda. IMC reserves editorial approval.
5. Online Events Calendar: Post your own events! Visit andrews.edu/events/submission and use your Andrews login and password. Click on “Add New Entry” to get to an event entry form. Any and all Andrews University related/sponsored events are welcome. For additional instructions, please email agenda@andrews.edu with “Event Calendar Instructions” in the subject line.
Upcoming events will be promoted under “Upcoming Events” in the twice-weekly Andrews Agenda email and via the Andrews University homepage, andrews.edu. If you would like to promote an event more than three to four days in advance, please submit an announcement to agenda@andrews.edu.
6. External Media Announcements: The Division of Integrated Marketing & Communication submits press releases to both local and church media on a regular basis. In general, a press release is 300–500 words in length and is written by an IMC staff or student writer. However, if you would prefer to write your own release, you may do so and submit it to IMC (pr@andrews.edu) for distribution. Please note that IMC reserves the right to edit press releases as they see fit before releasing to the media. All news tips should be submitted to pr@andrews.edu.
7. Church Bulletins: IMC is responsible for regularly notifying area church bulletin editors of upcoming events at Andrews University. Email your information to pr@andrews.edu.
8. Campus-wide Email: Campus-wide, or broadcast, emails are not used for routine event announcements or promotions. Broadcast emails are reserved for campus-wide emergencies, campus-wide scheduling changes and death announcements of current Andrews University faculty, staff and students only.
9. Campus-wide Voicemail: Voicemail announcements are for administrative and emergency purposes only, such as from the offices of the president, provost, vice presidents and treasurer.
