Event Proposal
Before submitting your proposal, please reserve an appropriate space for your event. If you have not already done so, please visit the Find Event Space page for more information on how to reserve space. Deadlines and policies vary by facility. The Campus Event Services staff can assist you with navigating the reservation process and connect you with event space managers on campus.
When you are ready to submit your event proposal, please make sure that you’ve answered the following questions to avoid delays in the review process:
- What is the purpose, or mission, of my event?
- Where and when is my event being held (date, time, specific location)?

- What is my event budget and where is the funding coming from?

- Is my event open to the public or for members of my organization only?
- Am I serving food at my event? If so, where is the food coming from and how will it be served?
- Will there be minors present at my event? Will they be supervised by their parents or staff from an external organization (i.e. Boys & Girls Club, etc…)? Will they be in the care of my organization members?
