Photo shoot casting for student recruitment
University Communications and the Office of Admissions are working together to update the photos used in national marketing efforts, and faculty and staff can encourage students to be a part of it.
After students sign up, University Communications will reach out when a photo shoot is scheduled. By signing up, students will not be guaranteed employment or obligated to participate. All student models will need to apply for verification of employment prior to the first photo shoot. Participating students will be paid for their time in photo shoots.
