FREE PORTRAIT DAY

The office of photographic services will host a Free Portrait Day next week: Thursday, July 6. It’s an ideal opportunity for faculty and staff to update their professional photos, which are used throughout University websites and printed publications. This service is completely free. Photos will be taken on a walk-in basis. No appointment necessary. It’s a particularly useful service for new faculty and staff, and any Missouri State employee who might enjoy having an updated professional headshot. Taking part in this event is the simplest way to ensure that your university photo is up-to-date.

What: Free Portrait Day

Who: Open to all Missouri State faculty and staff

When: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., July 6

Where: Photographic Services office, Meyer Alumni Center, Room 504
