Table Tents

Campus Dining & Shops (CDS) provides 6-sided table tents that are used as an advertising tool for student organizations and university departments. They are to advertise on-campus events, i.e. group meetings or recruitment, department or organization events, which are open to all students. They are not to be used to advertise non-university off-campus events.

Reservations are accepted from registered student organizations and departments through Campus Dining & Shops on a first come–first serve basis. Reservations are for one week, but multiple run dates may be reserved. Ads run Sunday through Saturday. Campus Dining & Shops is responsible for the printing and distribution of the tents to the dining hall and restaurant tables.

Cost per panel is $235/week.
