Introduction
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 areas on campus, 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.

Other Campus Screens

Residential Marketing opportunities are available to Campus Departments and Registered Student Organizations. Requests may be submitted through the Residential Marketing Request below.
Campus Life Channel
The Campus Life Channel is available through the television service provided to all on-campus residents. All registered student organizations and campus departments can submit their digital signage to this dedicated channel on the service.
Band App
The Band app is a versatile residential communications tool perfect for promoting your digital content. This app works as an announcement and group messaging app within each of our residential communities. With two ways to share your message—through the Residential Life Calendar or direct posts—you can effectively reach your target audience.
Keep in mind that Band content is more selective than digital signage, and all postings require a request for approval. This ensures that only the most relevant and engaging information is being pushed out through the platform.
Just submit your content through the form and if it is approved, we’ll post it on the appropriate channels.
