Special Event Support
Activities that are not academically-oriented that occur either on campus grounds or in academic buildings are considered special and must be coordinated through the Facilities Event Support Coordinator.
This office is responsible for evaluating each request, determining the various entities that will be affected by the activity, and getting feedback and/or approval from each one, interpreting agency policy and procedures for requestors, approving requests, and following up on each activity. The primary objective is to help requestors have a successful event that is safe for participants and protects University property. See the University Events Calendar for a summary of scheduled items.
