FlashLine hero image allowances.

FlashLine hero images are reserved for high-priority university-wide information, initiatives and signature events that are relevant to a broad segment of the Kent State community. Because this space is limited and highly visible, it is not intended for routine promotion of individual programs, departments, colleges or events.

Appropriate guidelines

• University-level priorities and presidential initiatives
• Important university dates or actions affecting a broad audience, such as open enrollment
• Signature university events and commemorations, such as Homecoming, May 4, Martin Luther King Jr. and Juneteenth commemorations
• Other time-sensitive university-wide information when broad visibility is important

Request processes

• Placement is determined based on university-wide relevance, audience reach, timing and available space; submission of a request does not guarantee placement.
• Should be submitted for consideration one week in advance.
• Typically run for three to 10 days
• Will be superseded by leadership requests
• Requests that do not meet these criteria should generally be promoted through Faculty/Staff News Now, Kent State Today or the university events calendar, as appropriate.
