Photography

As a faculty, staff, student or guest of SMWC, you may be photographed or videographed while on campus or at an SMWC event. These photographs and videos will be used for social media and marketing purposes. It is your responsibility to remove yourself from these situations where photography or video is being taken and/or notify the photographer/videographer directly if you do not want to participate or be in the shots.
