Please contact Law_Events@nova.edu to add your event to the NSU Law building screens. You must submit a PowerPoint slide with all of your event information on it. Best practice would be to follow the guidelines below:
On-screen Show (16:9) sets the slide dimensions to 10 in x 5.625 in. Widescreen sets the dimensions to 13.333 in x 7.5 in. Both of these options are the same aspect ratio so they will look the same in Normal View, since PowerPoint automatically adjusts the zoom level. Widescreen (13.333 in x 7.5 in.)
