The digital signage network features 42-inch monitors strategically placed for high visibility throughout the college's buildings.

Please contact Bryan Gentry or Kaye Hayes with questions about digital signage, or to submit a digital sign for display.
Send your finalized, error-free sign at least one week prior to the desired display date.
Guidelines for Creating Effective Digital Signs
Keep in mind: digital signs are like billboards — viewers only glance at them for a few seconds.
Best Practices:
- Keep text minimal and to the point
- Use strong visuals to grab attention
- Include a short, readable URL if directing viewers online (submit a short URL request if needed)
- Avoid advertising individual courses (focus on broader college events or announcements)
- Follow the university’s brand guidelines
Proofreading Tip: Have at least one other person in your department review the slide before submission.
