Spirit Rock

The Spirit Rock is a valued campus tradition at the Embry-Riddle Prescott campus. The Spirit Rock provides students with a platform to creatively express their ideas and promote school spirit within our culturally diverse community

Content Guidelines

We ask that you exercise good judgement; messages should be thoughtful, respectful, uplifting and considerate of everyone. Please adhere to Embry-Riddle’s Values, Mission and Vision, with an emphasis on collaboration, teamwork, and ethical behavior.

Students owe it to the community to consider the impact of their painting, especially on those who may disagree with their point of view. We encourage you to ask yourself:
Would I say this to someone in person?
Do I want to see a positive change in the community?
Is this the best way to achieve my goals?

Inappropriate or offensive content will not be permitted. All submissions will be reviewed by a committee to ensure they meet the established guidelines. The Dean of Students Office will act as the final authority for appeals.

Appropriate content: All artwork and messages must focus on school spirit. Prohibited content includes violence, threats, hate speech, harassment, defamation, obscenity, unlawful speech, and political statements.

    Artwork Design
