Student Organization & Department Event Monitors (SOD Screens)

There are three SOD screens on campus. They are located:

  • In the University Union, next to the staircase by Ace Sushi, 1st Floor
  • In the University Union, to the left of the Info Desk, 1st Floor
  • In the WELL, in the main lobby area, 1st floor

Guidelines:

  • Events promoted on the monitors must be open to the general public, whether free of charge or ticketed. The events must take place on campus.
  • Submissions should be easily readable within a 10 second time frame of display.
  • Images should represent a single event, or several activities which comprise an event taking place on a given day or multiple days. Activities which comprise an event spanning a week, an entire calendar month, or semester will not be displayed, due to the breadth of information and the readability of the information and time allotments for display. Events of this nature should be broken down into smaller segments for promotion on the monitor.
  • Any images that represent a general program or service, with no specific dates, will be displayed for only 2 weeks.
  • All materials must clearly indicate the sponsoring organization, group, or department and a public contact (phone, email, website) for more information about the event.
  • The parent organization for both facilities, Union WELL, Inc., has the right to review and disallow any submitted artwork containing content which is not deemed appropriate (illegible, inappropriate language/images, or messages which are derogatory or exclusionary of specific groups or individuals).
  • Approved submissions may not be displayed until two weeks prior to the event date. However, we encourage you send your submissions in early.
  • Event submissions will not be saved or archived. All files will be deleted immediately following the event.

To Submit:

  • All files should be in JPEG format. The optimal file dimensions are 1080 wide x 1920 height (pixels) or 26 2/3" tall x 15" wide, which will take full advantage of the screen size.
  • All artwork should be oriented vertically. Horizontal submissions will not be displayed.
  • All submissions should be sent as an email attachment to promo@csus.edu, with a subject line that reads, “For SOD Monitors Posting.”
  • The body of the email must include the contact name, email, and phone number of the person submitting the content.
