The College does not employ a full-time photographer; however, PR maintains a list of and hires commercial photographers whose services may be contracted for events or other special needs. Hourly rates vary and expenses are incurred by the client, unless images can also be used for printed materials and the College website.
Faculty/Staff Photographs
Official photographs of faculty and staff, used for publicity purposes, are arranged through and paid for by PR. The photos are housed in PR files.
Photo/Slide Inventory
A limited inventory of photographs, negatives, slides, and digital images is maintained in PR for approved campus use.
Submission of Images for Printed Materials
High-resolution (300 dpi) digital images, negatives, or slides are preferred for printed materials; photo prints are acceptable.
