Don Rocks
Don Rocks are in the Science Mall area and are the perfect place to help you advertise your next event. Keep the following information in mind:
- The purpose of Don Rocks is to provide student organizations and university departments a place to promote their activities and
events, and to celebrate their pride in Purdue Fort Wayne. - Any recognized student organization or university department may paint one of the three Don Rocks to advertise for events, programs, and recruitment. Groups not affiliated with the university may not utilize the boulders.
- If your group wishes to use a Don Rock, please complete a request form. Reservations will be made on a first come, first served basis.
- Your groups may use a Don Rock for a period of three to five days; extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis if there are no pending requests for usage. Your groups should paint the date when their announcement is completed.
- Only water-based paint may be used. Exterior acrylic paint is recommended. Spray paint and airbrushing is not permitted. Your group is expected to provide its own paint and supplies; materials must be approved in advance.
- Painting is allowed on the rock only. Damage to the surrounding area (grass, trees, sidewalks, etc.) may result in loss of usage privileges and/or financial penalties against your group.
- Your group may not affix additional materials to the rocks, including, but not limited to, paper, glitter, fabric, sticks, tape, paper-mâché, and flags.
- Content should be in good taste and adhere to the Purdue Fort Wayne Student Code of Conduct.
- Violations may result in a loss of usage privileges, based on the severity of the infraction.
