Printed Marketing

Posters or Fliers

Student Organizations may distribute posters and fliers on campus following the Posting Matrix (color/b&w). Copies of the posting matrix can also be picked up at Student Leadership and Involvement during open hours.

Table Tents

Table tents are a low-cost advertising method to reach a large number of students, staff and faculty with announcements about current events. Tents must be approved by Dining Services staff.

Design your table tent. Make sure it is non-discriminatory and not on lime green paper (this color is only used for memorial union and residence hall information). Be sure you include your organization or department name on it.
Submit your table tent for approval in one of the following ways:

Email a PDF to reservations-l@mtu.edu with ‘Table Tent’ and your organization or department name in the subject line
Drop a hard copy off in the Memorial Union and Dining Services Office, Room 101

After receiving approval, you can print your table tents. Quantities and locations to copy and deliver to are: Keweenaw Commons,120; DHH, 35; McNair, 50; and Wads, 97. Total: 302
Place your table tents, one per table. Table tents in each location are recycled every weekend and in the Commons when an event is scheduled there.

Printing Options for RSOs

RSO’s have several printing options on campus:

Utilize standard HuskyPrint services through IT. Black and white printing is free. There is a cost associated with color printing.
Utilize the on-campus printshop following this simple guide.

Print in MUB 106. A full color copier is available for use on projects under 50 pages. Black and white copies are 10 cents. Color copies are 25 cents. Email rso@mtu.edu for your RSO’s personalized code in order to use the printer.

Digital Marketing

Film Board

Each weekend Film Board shows a slide show with advertisements prior to that weekend’s movie. Advertisements are sold on a slot basis for both slide and video advertisements. Learn more on the Lode’s “Advertise with Us” webpage.

Electronic Display System

Student groups can share graphics on the screens located in the Library and the Residence Halls at the discretion of those departments. Submissions to the library can be made on their “Digital Signage Request Form.” Submissions to the residence halls can be made by emailing housing@mtu.edu. Please ensure to include the start and end date, your organization name, and attach the graphic. The preferred formatting/size for digital displays is a standard power point slide (16:9).

Social Media

The University Marketing and Communications team offers a thorough field guide for the use of social media accounts. We recommend using it for suggestions and ideas for your own social media platforms. They also allow university groups to utilize their platforms by request, such as creating a video for Tik Tok.
