Those who desire photographs for university related activities must complete a request form for promotional services and return it to the office at least 48 hours before a scheduled event. To ensure the provision of clear, concise communications, all media inquires should be made through the office, and the initial point of contact should always be the director, the spokesperson for the University. If for some reason the director is unavailable, another member of the staff can assist you. In the event of a crime, controversy, or in routine matters, the director will see to it that the media gets the facts quickly and accurately. Attempts to suppress bad news almost invariably lead to unhappy consequences.
Rumors are, as a rule, far worse than reality.
Established policy and procedures enhance the credibility of the college with both the media and the public.
