event guide

Planning an event takes attention to detail, creativity, time and energy. The information on this site is designed to guide and assist anyone planning an event for the school of engineering. Make sure you take advantage of the available resources provided for use during your planning such as:

• Event check list
• Budget estimate
• President Crow’s schedule
• Campus venues
• Vendor list

Things you want to consider when planning any event are:

• Type of event - Meeting, reception, visit to the school, student recruitment, etc.

• Purpose of the event - Welcoming new students, improving relations, annual report reporting, folster alumni relations, a generous donation appreciation, fundraising, etc.

• Number of attendees expected - This is important both for the budget and for the room size. Always make sure you have room to grow, never assume that the first anticipated number will not change.

• Budget - Know before you start planning how much you can spend. Before you contact anyone, do a budget estimate including everything you assume you will need. Always make sure you have some money for miscellaneous items or additional attendees.
