Indoor Video Monitors

Cal State East Bay’s indoor video monitors are an effective way to advertise campus events, activities and programs to the university community. Monitors are placed in buildings throughout the Hayward campus in highly visible areas where students, faculty and staff frequent, pass by and gather. While there are many video monitors throughout the university, the campus community can only post to the ten displays operated by the Office of Academic Advising and Career Education (AACE).
