Poster Route
Interested in advertising your event on Campus?
The 27 bulletin boards and kiosk locations across campus have been identified for the use of advertising events and activities sponsored by registered student organizations and campus departments.
Poster Route bulletin boards have bright pink signs of identification!
Guidelines:
The Memorial Union provides the opportunity for recognized student organizations and divisions and/or administrative areas of Fort Hays State University to publicize upcoming events through means of bulletin boards located in buildings on campus and the kiosks. When space permits, FHSU departmental flyers announcing non-event information of interest to the general student population may also be posted. Any other public entities wanting to post materials should contact individual building supervisors for permission.
These guidelines pertain only to designated poster route bulletin boards; they are in no way meant to be the policy for posting materials on departmental, Cultural Affairs, Student Government Association, or University Activities Board bulletin boards. Individuals or organizations need to check with these groups to determine their guidelines. Materials promoting course offerings and schedule changes do not fall within these guidelines, as well. University policy regarding these materials should be followed. All postings are to be consistent with University policy.
All student organization and departmental materials to be hung by the Memorial Union Administration on the official poster route bulletin boards must be approved by the Memorial Union Administrative Staff, Second floor room 208 of the Memorial Union, pursuant to the following guidelines. It is strongly recommended that a proof be given to Memorial Union Administrative office for approval before additional copies are made.
1. Student organizations must be recognized by the Student Organization Committee (SOC) in order to post information for upcoming events. No commercial advertisements will be posted unless they relate to events sponsored by a recognized student organization or a division and/or administrative area of Fort Hays State University.
2. Materials need to include the name of the event, date, time, place, (on-campus building name, room name and/or number or off-campus name and street address), an FHSU approved logo (can be found at https://www.fhsu.edu/university-marketing/logos and can be any of the Primary Lockdown Left or Lockdown Centered options or Secondary Lockdown (slab) options), contact information incase of any questions about the event (phone and/or email address), and the sponsoring organization or department's full name.
