Clemson Home offers student organizations and campus departments a variety of ways to share their messages and events directly with residential students across campus!
We have transitioned away from posting paper signage and posters in residential areas across campus, instead providing digital platforms that are more sustainable, more effective, and easier to utilize.
To get your content displayed in residential communities, simply submit it for approval by Clemson Home Marketing and Communications staff through our simple submission forms.
There are three great ways available to promote your content: Residential Digital Signage in prominent locations throughout housing locations, the Campus Life Channel, and our Community Communications App. Use these platforms to reach and engage the Clemson community more effectively!
Residential Digital Signage
Clemson Home’s residential digital signage is an excellent way for departments and student organizations to advertise and promote events directly to residential students. This digital signage is strategically placed in high-traffic areas such as lobbies, elevators, area desks, and the Douthit Hub, ensuring maximum visibility. Submissions can be tailored to reach all residential areas or targeted specifically to primarily first-year communities, bridge housing, or continuing student housing. By leveraging this platform, you can effectively engage with the residential student community and boost participation in your events.

Campus Life Channel
The Campus Life Channel is a platform for students to promote their content and events. All registered student organizations and campus departments can request to upload their digital signage to this dedicated channel, ensuring broad visibility. Residential students have access to IPTV, allowing them to easily view the content displayed on the Campus Life Channel. By using this channel, you can effectively reach and engage the entire residential community, making it an ideal way to promote your events and messages.
Band App
The Band app is a versatile residential communications tool perfect for promoting your digital content. With two ways to share your message—through the Residential Life Calendar or direct posts—you can effectively reach your target audience. However, keep in mind that Band is selective with its content, and all postings require a request for approval. This ensures that only the most relevant and engaging information reaches the residential community. Use the Band app to elevate your event promotions and connect with students in a dynamic, interactive way.
