Posting


Flyers and posters are a means of publicizing events at Mount Holyoke. Bulletin boards are located around campus, including in the Kendade Atrium, Eliot House and residence halls. The guidelines listed here are for those boards. Other buildings, academic and business offices may have their own posting guidelines. Please refer to the LITS website for library posting guidelines: https://lits.mtholyoke.edu/about-lits/policies-guidelines/advertising-and-flyers. When hanging posters or flyers, students and student groups should:

...

● When posting and designing publicity material, consider how various members of the College community might respond to the content and appearance of the advertisement. Think inclusivity.


● Advertise the accessibility information, and list a contact in the sponsor group that folks can contact to ask questions and advance accessibility requests.

Materials should:
● Include the identifying name/affiliation of the sponsor of the materials, and a contact for more
information.
● Not exceed 11"x17".
● Be free from the misuse of copyrighted materials.
● Not promote the abuse of alcohol and/or illegal substances. A party can advertise “beer and wine available, w/21+ID” but should not advertise “buck-a-beer” or “kegs,” etc.
● During campus elections, be compliant with the regulations of ACE sites.google.com/mtholyoke.edu/allcampuselections/home.
● Never block fire equipment or be posted on fire doors.


Questions about posting options can be discussed with the Office of Student Involvement in Blanchard room 327 or by calling 413-538-2478.
