Project and Media Requests

Process to request photos, videos, projects, research, or news coverage in Cornell Dining and Cornell residential spaces

Please note, if you are interested in capturing photos and videos for anything but personal use, have a project or research in mind that involves Cornell facilities, or are working on news or editorial coverage about Cornell, university policies apply.

As stated on Cornell's University Relations Resources web page, Cornell University is private property. Our goal is to ensure that students, staff, faculty, and visitors on Cornell University’s campus are able to carry out their activities with a reasonable expectation of privacy and normalcy. Advance permission is required to conduct interviews, capture images or video, or record audio on university property. Recording inside buildings is not permitted without advance consent and is not allowed in private residential living areas at any time. Cornell University reserves the right to refuse permission to photograph or video record on university-owned property for any reason.

Media Requests

Media inquiries, such as an interview solicitation or request for information for an article or publication, that pertain to Cornell Dining, Conference and Event Services, and Housing and Residential Life, should be directed to Campus Life Marketing and Communications by submitting a Media Request Form so that the proper department representatives can be involved in a response.
