Our college hosts such a large variety of events throughout the year. It’s extremely important that everyone involved in servicing events understand their roles and the role of the Gatton Event team in the planning and execution of any event. There are three tiers of involvement of the Gatton Events team for events in the college:
Here is a quick list of types of events and the support expected for each one.
The first tier are events that are mostly internal departmental events.
Administrative support from each department is responsible for planning and executing these events. Ordering of food, attendee registration, parking, cleanup after the event, etc. are handled and planned by the administrative staff within each department.
For information on how to execute different aspects of such as event click here.
*** Please note: Event Student support can be requested on a per event basis.
The second tier of events are typically larger events that require more intense planning and require additional support.
Administrative staff support from each department is expected to take the responsibility for the bulk of planning these events. Ordering of food, attendee registration, parking, etc.are handled and planned by the administrative staff in each department. Student support is available for the following needs:
** The Special Events Coordinator will take an active role in working with the administrative assistants and will assist with questions such as vendor selection, logistics with event, menu selection, etc. Student Event workers will be available to help execute the event.
The third level of events fall under a college-wide umbrella which are normally hosted by the Dean's Office/Philanthropy. The planning and execution of these events will be the sole responsibility of the Gatton Events Team. Some of these examples of these also fall within departments/student led organizations.
