organizations or events. Use of the University visual identity must comply with the guidelines
established by the Johns Hopkins Office of Communications. For access to JHU Identity guidelines

Types of Advertising on Campus
Johns Hopkins Information Network – These are the video boards around campus. They may be found in the
Mattin Center, dining halls, the recreation center, and Levering. Simply visit http://jhu.edu/advertise and
log in with your JHED. You may upload a PowerPoint slide, a .pdf, .jpg, or video. Ads are permitted to run
a maximum of two weeks, but may run longer during slow periods like summer or winter breaks.
Today’s Announcements – The Daily Announcements email is the place where most people report finding out
about happenings on campus. In a recent Student Activities survey, 91% of students indicated they find out
about events and opportunities through the Daily Announcement email. Visit the Daily Announcements
website, click “submit an announcement” at the top, and log in with your JHED. Daily Announcements
must be submitted by noon the day before they are to appear. Daily Announcements do not go out on the
weekends or when the University is closed.
Mural Boards – Mural boards are available for student groups to paint to promote upcoming events. The
boards are located in the grassy area between Mattin Center, Brody Learning Commons, and Maryland Hall.
Student groups may reserve one mural board for up to a week, and the Office of Student Activities provides
all the materials to paint a board (i.e. paint, brushes, paint pans, drop cloths, etc). Contact the Office of
Student Activities to reserve a board.
Fliers – If a group wants to post fliers in the residence halls, fliers must be approved by the
Residential Life Office. Visit the AMR II Res Life Office to have a flier stamped. Groups
may post fliers elsewhere on campus without prior approval. However, fliers must comply
with the Student Code of Conduct, and fliers must not be posted on trees, buildings, brick
surfaces, or places otherwise not obviously designated for fliers. Organizations posting fliers
that violate these regulations will be subject to discipline by the University.
Banners – Banners may be hung on campus, but require the appropriate permission. To hang a banner from
the Breezeway between the Upper and Lower Quads email the Levering Student Life Office at
bbl@jhu.edu. Space on the Breezeway must be scheduled through the Levering Student Life Office.
