Digital Signage on Campus
We manage the content displayed on 91心頭利’s Bemidji Ave. roadside digital sign near the corner of Paul Bunyan Drive and 19th Street, and for the Northwest Technical College sign located near the corner of Grant Ave. and Paul Bunyan Drive SE.
These signs exist exclusively to promote the college and university. Messages are intended to draw interest in key opportunities and events and are managed solely by the Office of Communications & Marketing. There are limited opportunities to promote events or campus activities using this sign; please use our project request form if you wish to have your event or activity promoted on these signs.
Several buildings at BSU and the NTC campus are also equipped with a digital signage system that uses large televisions installed in high-traffic locations. These screens are intended to provide news and reminders about events, activities, and important dates on campus to pedestrian audiences in the buildings where they are installed.
These signs can display two messages at a time; the right side displays messages only in the building where the sign is located (so, screens in Memorial Hall will display different content than screens in the union). The left side displays messages campuswide and are updated by the Office of Communications & Marketing. To post messages only on signs in a specific building, please contact the person in that building responsible for updating the sign (typically an administrative assistant in that building). For campuswide messages, please submit a request using .
