The Challenge: Communication That Actually Works on Campus

In higher ed, keeping up with campus communication is a full-time job. Class changes, safety alerts, event updates, building closures, campus news... and let’s be honest: posters go unnoticed, and mass emails are a waste of time.

You shouldn’t have to wait on a giant IT overhaul or budget windfall to fix it. With Carousel, your campus can communicate smarter using the infrastructure that’s already in place.

Where Digital Signage Fits Across Campus

  • Student unions & commons: Event promos, club updates, dining hours
  • Academic buildings: Room schedules, lecture changes, deadlines
  • Dorm lobbies & lounges: Safety alerts, RA messages, quiet hours
  • Athletic facilities: Game times, closures, fitness class updates
  • Admin buildings: Financial aid deadlines, registrar reminders, HR updates
  • Libraries: Study room availability, workshops, hours

Go Beyond the Wall – Reach Students Where They Actually Are

Modern campuses aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your signage strategy. Carousel helps you meet your audience wherever they are. It might be on a mobile device while walking to class, checking a laptop in the cafeteria, or scrolling their tablet between lectures.

  • Wall-Mounted Displays: Reach your audience while making an impression in entryways, lounges, and study zones
  • Desktop Computers: Extend the reach of your classic digital signage to screen savers ensuring your communications are reaching your entire team. (Available on Android, Apple and Windows)
  • Tablets: Power up multi-use devices with scheduled or interactive messaging. (Available on macOS, Android and Windows)
  • Mobile Devices: Reach a mobile audience and push need-to-know information to mobile devices, putting essential information in the palm of their hand. (Available on macOS, Android and Windows)

Start the Semester Strong. No IT Meltdown Required.
