Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Photography is an important part of the Communications Office's work, particularly in support of College publications, the website and social media outreach. We use photography in much of what we do, and we also provide support to departments and organizations, both internal and external, as needed. One of our existing cameras no longer works and another is a much older model that no longer provides crisp images. Needed equipment includes a camera, flash, appropriate auxiliary lenses and filters, and a carry bag.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

We will be limited in the number of quality photos we can acquire, which likely could impact the quality of images in publications, on the website and across our social media platforms.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

This is a necessary and minimal investment to make to improve the quality of photos which will be used to market SUNY Orange and attract potential students and donors.  The PBIE Committee supports investing in the equipment requested in this initiative to produce better quality photo to sell SUNY Orange.
