Spirit Rock

The Spirit Rock is a valued campus tradition at the Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach campus. Its purpose is to provide a space for students to express themselves in ways that increase school spirit.

  • Content

    All painting must be appropriate and respectful of the campus and local community. No profanity, hate speech, or obscenity.

  • Timing

    Each message may remain for one day, after which a new reservation is allowed. The exception is for a memorial to a fallen Eagle, which takes priority over other messages and should be allowed to stay untouched for one week.

  • Sign-up

    Anyone wishing to paint the rock must sign up online through the Spirit Rock registration event in Campus Groups, providing their contact info and the date and time of their painting. A group may only be represented by one member each month (to avoid multi-day reservations).

  • Coverage

    When painting, the new message must cover the entire Rock (unless sharing with another group has been worked out in advance). Paint on the sidewalk or grass is prohibited.

  • Paint

    All painting on the Spirit Rock must use water-based latex paint. Person(s) or organizations painting the Rock must dispose of all paint waste (brushes, cans, etc.) in the appropriate receptacle to be located near the Rock.

University Enforcement

There is a surveillance camera recording the Spirit Rock. Content can be reviewed in case of an incident. The Dean of Students will be the final arbiter of whether content is appropriate. Anyone witnessing inappropriate content should notify Campus Safety (226-6480). Individuals and/or organizations found responsible for violating these policies will be held accountable through the appropriate processes within the Dean of Students and/or Student Engagement offices.

Questions regarding these policies can be addressed to the Student Engagement & Student Union department (dbsesu@erau.edu).
