Questions to ask yourself when  organizing an event!

Have You…

          1.  spoken with Gustavo Burkett, Director of Campus Activities & Events, about your event? Gustavo is a great resource for students and

          6.  reserved your event spaces? Contact Carole LeClair at 581-1793.
          7.  secured co-sponsors and/or volunteers for the event? Co-sponsoring with a student organization or a department will help spread
          the work around, and get you the volunteers needed to get the job done.

          8.  developed a plan regarding the number of volunteers needed and what you would like them to do?
          9.  effectively advertised for your event/program? (Make sure your volunteers are aware of building posting policies)

          bingo/beano policy, and more!
          12.  hired a custodian for clean-up (if necessary)? Contact Facilities Management at 581-4400.

          14. rented tables, chairs, staging, lighting, sound, equipment, etc. (if needed)?
          15. rented equipment from vendors (i.e. inflatables, dunk tank, etc.). Does that company carry liability insurance? (you need to make

          services.
