Office needs like a paper cutter, scanner, fax, and copy machine are also available to use for free or at low cost.

Summer Advertising is available to book now. Just one of our advertising services goes on hiatus in the warmer months: Table Tents. Visit this page for more information. Summer advertising space is deeply discounted. To view Advertising Prices & Discounts, visit this page. The Summer reservation period includes May 6 through August 25.

  • Fall Advertising is expected to open in July. The Fall reservation period includes August 26 through early January.
  • We still offer balloons in the Summer, but delivery is very limited. Our team of 8 drivers is reduced to just one. Pick-up is available 5 days a week, during SORC regular business hours.

 

Digital Ads: Request Space

Winter Advertising requests for Digital Ads will open up on November 6th.

Digital advertising screens are a remarkably effective way to convey your message in full color to thousands of passers-by in the Michigan Union, Michigan League, Pierpont Commons, Palmer Commons, and several Campus Computing Sites. Advertisers may reserve advertising space on over 20 digital screens around campus on a day-by-day basis.

Bus Signs: Request Space

Winter Semester Bus Sign requests are open now! Bus Signs are distributed across up to 30 U of M busses, promoting your organization to the ever-growing number of campus commuters, including students, faculty and staff. SORC is now accepting reservation requests for Bus Signs for the Fall 2024 reservation period. You may request advertising space for dates between now and 5/5/2024.
