Room Reservations & Building Logistics

  • Reserve a Room
    • When selecting your date, check the calendar for other events and be considerate of other organizations and meetings that are already scheduled and avoid conflicts whenever possible.  
    • Check to be sure your event isn't on a date with a religious holiday that might keep some students, faculty, and staff from attending.
    • If a student who uses a wheelchair may want to attend your event, you can search the EMS Room Reservation System for a room with an accessible table to host your event and use an RSVP form to confirm attendance. 
  • Instructions for Making Room Reservations
  • Contact Ann Onidas for help with a work order if you need to move furniture or need assistance from custodial services after hours (after 2 p.m. weekdays or on any time on weekends).

Catering/Food Information

  • The law school does not provide funding or reimburse expenses for food for student organization meetings and events. Students seeking reimbursement from their organization’s foundation account for food/catering expenses should confirm funds are available with Chris Whitehead before making a purchase. Check with him before you spend any money to make sure the expense you are considering can be reimbursed and how.  
  • If your organization has money in a foundation account that you would like to use for an event, please submit this form to Chris Whitehead at least 10 business days in advance for approval of catering expenses and at least 30 days in advance for contracts.  (Students may not sign contracts).  Otherwise, students should plan to use funds from the organization's checking account for food at events.
  • Catering (currently Chartwell's is not providing catering services to the law school).
