Mission

The University Centers (Price Center and Student Center) strengthens communications for the university community by broadcasting campus announcements and promoting campus activities on the Price Center Marquee.

As the community center of the campus, the mission of the University is to provide a welcoming environment to all students, meet the daily needs of the campus community, enrich students experience of campus life, and encourage members of the campus community to gather, interact, and exchange ideas and opinions.

Introduction

All announcements broadcast on the Price Center Marquee must be in compliance with the UC San Diego University Centers mission and must follow the Price Center Marquee policies and procedures. The Marquee Coordinator, the Graphics Supervisor and the Assistant Director - Marketing and Programs assume responsibility for insuring full compliance with guidelines. Thus, in responding to requests to authorize a specific announcement, the Marquee staff reserves the right to edit or delete the text, written or visual, of material submitted for broadcasting.

2. Broadcast announcements run for one week.


3. Requests must be submitted online at least two weeks prior to the scheduled broadcast. Since announcements run for one week, you must complete your submission at least three weeks prior to the actual event.
