Campus Recreation

Advertising and Research at the Rec

Advertising in the Rec Center

Campus Rec does not offer space for printed materials in the facility. The main intention of Campus Rec is to provide a space that is limited in distractions in order to give students a place to retreat and prioritize their own health and wellness.

Alternatively, another option available for groups is to market their activities, events, and programs inside the Rec Center through the use of our digital TVs located on each floor. Should the group wishing to advertise meet the following criteria, they may submit a digital advertisement for the TVs to RecAds@pdx.edu.

File Requirements: 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels tall, JPG or PNG

  • The group wishing to advertise must either be a SALP student group or department on campus.
  • The request must be made at least 10 business days prior to the event date.
  • Maximum of 1-2 ads from any non-CREC department or group at any given time.

Tips for Digital TV Advertising

Do

  • Keep it simple and visual
  • Make the who, what, where, when information clear and easy to read
  • Use at least 25-point font for event descriptions

Don’t

  • Create an advertisement that is text heavy
  • Include textual information that exceeds a 50-word count 

Research at the Rec

Campus Rec welcomes interest in conducting research or studies at the Rec Center and/or during Campus Rec initiatives or programs under the following required conditions:

  • Research intended for publication must have current PSU IRB approval and must be submitted through Campus Rec's Research Request Form.
  • Student studies for coursework not intended for publication must have written faculty pre-approval documented and must be submitted through Campus Rec's Research Request Form.
  • All projects must be non-invasive (do not put members or employees at any risk) and align with Campus Rec's strategic plan and values.
  • All projects require documented participant consent and must address data security and participant confidentiality submitted through Campus Rec's Research Request Form.

To conduct research or studies at the Rec Center, complete Campus Rec's Research Request Form. All data collection, observation, and/or surveys must undergo this application and review process.  Each proposed project is considered on a case-by-case basis.  Campus Rec reviews project proposals regularly and will make contact by email with approval or denial, or questions, within 5 business days.

If your project is approved:

  • You will coordinate directly with an assigned Campus Rec professional staff member for the logistics of conducting the study.
  • You will email Campus Rec your final product which includes your findings (e.g., class paper, presentation, publication) so that we can learn from your research.
