Fresh photos for the screens your students walk past
A lobby screen showing last fall’s photos in spring tells everyone nobody is watching it. When the week’s event photos live in Rocket’s library, the person updating the screens can find a fresh shot, check it and put it to use.

Why it matters
Campus screens go stale when photos are hard to get
Screens need new images every week, but the photos are on other people’s phones. So the same slides run for months and students stop looking up.
Ideas for Photos for Campus Screens
This week’s events
Feature photos from the last few days so the screen feels current to the students who were there.
Spotlights for every program
Rotate photos from arts, clubs and academics alongside athletics so more students see themselves.
Wide, well-lit shots
Choose landscape photos with good light. They read better from across a lobby than tight phone crops.
Then and now
Pair a current photo with one from the same event years ago, pulled from the archive.
Event promos from last year
Use last year’s homecoming photos to promote this year’s, so the screen shows what students can expect.
Recognition highlights
Add photos of new inductees, record-breakers or award winners to a screen near the trophy case.
