  • Blanchard Hall Poster Policy

    Posters and flyers may be posted on the bulletin board behind the Information Desk, the bulletin board in the vestibule outside of the Dining Commons, and the bulletin board outside of the Student Involvement Studio, room 304. Flyers may not be posted on walls, banisters, windows, doors, whiteboards, bathroom stalls, posts/pillars, or tables. Relatedly, drawing or writing on any building surface is not permitted.

    All materials must:

    • Include the identifying name/affiliation for the sponsor of the materials, and contact for more information.
    • Not exceed 11"x17"
    • Be free from the mis-use 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.
    • Never block fire equipment or be posted on fire doors.

    Small handouts, brochures, etc. are also prohibited from being littered across tables in Blanchard Hall and the Dining Center vestibule. This policy is in place for several reasons:

    • Tape from posting flyers on unauthorized surfaces can damage the paint or varnish of the furnishing and walls.
    • Loose flyers left on tables either pile up or end up on the floor; this creates more work for the housekeeping staff. Flyers, handouts, etc. that are left on tables are considered litter and will be disposed of accordingly.
    • Similarly, your group is welcome to table in the vestibule outside of the Dining Commons by reserving a table through the EMSWeb app, but please do not leave flyers strewn across or taped onto the tables when you are not using the table.

  • Other Campus Posting Policies

    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.

    If you wish to post flyers on bulletin boards inside the residence halls, please read the Office of Residential Life's Poster Policy For Residence Halls document. If you have questions about their poster policy, please email them.

  • Division of Student Life Social Media & Digital Signs

    To reduce your department's impact on the environment and curb the litter in Blanchard Hall, consider some digital marketing strategies, such as submitting social media content for the Division of Student Life to post on the @mhcstudentlife channels, or submitting a design to be displayed on the digital signage throughout Blanchard Hall. If you have questions about utilizing the DSL social media or digital signage, please email the DSL Communications Team.

  • Chalking

    Mount Holyoke College allows chalking on campus under the following guidelines. Individuals will be held responsible for any damage and/or cleanup if these guidelines are not followed.

    • Only erasable chalk may be used - grease-based chalk is not permitted.
    • Chalking may be done only on asphalt roads and walkways.
    • Chalkings should be signed with the full name of the person or group responsible.
    • Groups or individuals may be asked to remove chalking when necessary.
    • Absolutely no chalking is permitted on any brick or building / wall surface.
    • No chalking is permitted in any area that is protected from rain.
    • All chalking must be appropriate for the general public, including children and any campus guests.

  • Digital Signs

    The campus community can submit flyers for display on the digital signs in the building. Please note the following:

    • Flyers will run for two weeks prior to the event date.
    • Recurring/"FYI" items will run for one week per month as relevant.
    • Submission should be received 1-2 weeks ahead of time.
    • Images are uploaded on Monday mornings, so if your event is later in the week and you did not submit your flyer until after Monday morning, it will not be posted in time.
    • Images must be sized correctly (see the specs below and in the form). We will not post images that are the wrong size, and we will not be able to re-size for you. You will not get notification if we do not post, so please make sure they are the right size.
    • No pdfs. We can only post jpgs, gifs, pngs.
    • We will contact you if we have a question about content.
