Located around the perimeter of the atrium, banner/display locations are a popular way to promote campus events and programs.  Requests are granted on a first come, first served basis, with priority given to University-wide initiatives and sponsored events. 

Things to know

• The Davis Center has a finite amount of space suitable for banners/displays in the Atrium.
• Requests must be made at least four weeks in advance.
• To allow for maximum access, banners will not be allowed to hang for longer than two weeks.
• All banners/displays must be in support of a program or event that a University recognized organization or department is sponsoring.
• The banner/display must include the name of the sponsor, the name of the event, the date and time of the event, and the location of the event, or otherwise provide a URL or QR Code where such information can be found.
• All banners must be less than 10 feet in length, and have grommets pre-installed.

Banner space needs to be reserved in advance by completing the Davis Center Banner / Display Request form.  If you have questions, please contact DavisCenterMarketing@uvm.edu or call (802) 656-1204.

Public bulletin boards located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors of the DC, are available for posting consistent with the University’s Posting and Solicitation Policy (PDF). Please use the tacks provided (no staples).  Bulletin boards are cleared every Sunday during the academic semesters — flyers are collected, brought to Print and Mail and recycled into Eco Notepads (look for these at the Information Desk).

All posters must include the logo of the organizing/affiliated group, and any event posters must include the date, time, and location of the associated event.

Things to know

Posting is prohibited on non-bulletin board spaces (i.e. on walls, doors, bathroom mirrors) and will be immediately taken down, and may result in groups losing access to other marketing opportunities within our space.

How to submit

Find open space on a bulletin board and put up your poster, flyer, or note. We are not staffed to put posters on bulletin boards for individuals.

Tips 

• Bulletin Boards fill up quickly. It's best to poster at the start of the week.
• Limit your posting to no more than 3 posters per bulletin board.
• Think critically about your poster design and how it can stand out from the rest.  If you're postering for an SGA recognized club or organization, consider submitting a marketing request to have a student Graphic Designer design a poster for you - for FREE.

There are several digital screens throughout all four floors of the DC — each playing content continuously throughout the day.  

Things to know

• Only UVM affiliates (e.g. SGA recognized clubs and departments) are eligible to submit flat screen content.
• Requests may not be for longer than three weeks at a time.
• At this time, we are primarily only accepting 1080x1920 slides, though we hope to expand our content options in the future. If you have unique format or file requests, you can reach out to us at dcscreen@uvm.edu to discuss further. 

How to submit

Please check out the first page of the submission form carefully for all of the guidelines on what is and isn't accepted on our screens, and to find the submission form. 

Submit content to our screens

Tips

• Read through the Flatscreen Guidelines outlined at the beginning of the submission form.
• Keep your message quick, actionable, and easy to understand.  It's hard to read a lot of text on digital signs - the screens are mounted on ceilings and walls that make it difficult to read small text from afar.
• Condense your message to the basics - title, date/time, and website for more info. Your content should be able to visually convey your event without a lengthy amount of reading.
• Consider submitting your event to UVM BORED. A number of our flatscreens pull from UVM BORED feeds automatically to display upcoming events from this student-run events calendar.

The Davis Center has a limited number of display cases available each month for UVM affiliates. Qualifying organizations can reserve a case for a 30 day period to promote their organization or work. 

Things to know

• Display cases are only available to SGA-recognized student organizations.  They are not available to other departments, organizations or businesses.
• Display case reservations will not be granted for longer than 30 days at a time, although they may be extended at the end of those 30 days if availability allows. 

How to reserve a display case

Fill out the following form to request a reservation. We recommend requesting a reservation at least one month in advance - display cases fill up fast! Please do not request longer than 30 days for your reservation, as this will not be granted.

Tips

Make your display case current and interesting.  Nothing dissuades eyeballs faster than a display case that looks neglected!

We've got table spaces in the atrium (and out on the green when the weather is nice) — so you can chat with folks, give away swag, and inform students about your organization in a more personal, face-to-face, way.

Things to know

Tables must be reserved in advance. The DC will supply the table and the space, but your organization is responsible for the rest.  If you are supplying food, it must adhere to the policies in place by UVM.

How to reserve a table

To learn more about reserving a table, please email William.Sullivan@uvm.edu with details, or call University Event Services - Davis Center Operations at (802) 656-1204 and we'll walk you through the process of reserving space.

Tips

• Have good presentation.  The Davis Center does not provide tablecloths or materials - and folks are more likely to approach you and your table if it looks professional.
• Be engaging — make eye contact with people walking by.  Say hello. Introduce yourself and start up a legitimate conversation.
• Think about class change times.  The atrium and outside walkways are much busier in between classes.
