Photography coverage is prioritized by the Office of Communications to ensure that images can be used in multiple internal and external publications.
Priorities include:
- Publications produced by the Office of Communications
- News photography
- FDU official social media outlets
- FDU website and homepage
Additionally, the Office of Communications can, if time is available, take official headshots for the purpose of University web pages or other publications.
