Campus Events and Conference Services
Campus Events and Conference Services staff assist students and recognized student organizations in reserving rooms and discussing logistical needs for student and campus events. Staff help students identify the appropriate space for an event based on expected number of participants; need for seating and/or tables; need for a podium, staging or sound equipment; need for technology; and availability of college buildings, rooms, or grounds. Campus Events and Conference Services staff will consult with the Director of Student Activities, Recreation and Leadership as well as the Dean of Students and Retention on questions regarding the appropriateness of the proposed event given the college’s mission and values. Advanced planning can help students or recognized student organizations recognize any additional expenses for security, sound systems or technology not available through the college.
In addition, Campus Events and Conference Services staff assist both internal and external users of the college to host summer conferences, sports camps, workshops, business meetings and special events. Coordination of room reservations, housing in the residence halls, meal and hospitality needs from Sodexo, and insurance paperwork are services offered to ensure a successful event. Conference and Events staff hire students as employees to help with event check-in and check-out as well as staff the front desk in the residence hall to provide information and hospitality for our guests.
