Marketing in the OSU
Promote your events, programs, and more at the Otter Student Union!
Submitted materials should adhere to CSUMB's Time, Place, and Manner Requirements.
- A-frames are a valuable tool for promoting campus events, clubs, and services. To ensure they enhance our campus environment, please follow these recommendations in areas outside and around the OSU:
- Prioritize Safety: Place A-frames securely to prevent tipping and avoid obstructing walkways, entrances, and exits.
- Mindful Sizing: Choose A-frame sizes that minimize clutter and visual obstruction.
- Inclusive Placement: Ensure A-frames do not block access for individuals with disabilities.
- Content: A-frames must contain clear and legible information and comply with the campus Time, Place, and Manner policy.
- Maintenance/Removal: A-frames must be maintained in good condition and free of damage or hazards. A-frames must be removed promptly after an event or when no longer in use.
- Set-up: Please notify OSU staff in advance if you'd like to place A-Frame in an area outside and around the OSU. Contact: reservations@
otterstudentunion.org
Please note that in order to maintain a safe and welcoming campus, A-frames may be removed by OSU staff if they pose a safety hazard or if they do not comply with these recommendations. Promote on the OSU Digital Displays
