Event Planning Tools

Academic Calendar

When's a good time to plan an event? Be sure to know when classes are—and are not—in session.

As no two events are the same, no single success formula exists. That’s why University Events offers a menu of support tools for organizers. The following tools and forms aid and inform the organizing process:

Campus Services Brief‌

Use this document to communicate your event needs to the campus service departments that support these areas.

Presidential Brief

Prepare this document to give your VIPS and speakers information they need to prepare to address or attend your event.
