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?
