Start early
Event owners submit a purpose, audience, date, space, attendance estimate, budget and accessibility needs before promotion begins.
Coordinate details
Staff review room setup, custodial needs, food safety, contracts, security, recording, parking, weather and required approvals.
Close the loop
After the event, organizers reconcile expenses, return equipment, document attendance or incidents and capture what to improve next time.
Start with the basics
An event owner submits the purpose, audience, date, space, attendance estimate, budget and accessibility needs before any promotion goes out. Booking the room is the easy part; the review that follows is where the real planning happens.
Coordinate and close the loop
Staff review setup, custodial needs, food safety, contracts, security, recording, parking and weather, and flag which approvals a given event needs. Afterward, organisers reconcile expenses, return equipment, document attendance or incidents and write down what to change next time.
In and around Porter Falls
Day-to-day life at Porter runs between Founders Union, the residence halls on the south quad and North Campus across the Riverfront Trail. The Porter Loop shuttle, the lighted trail and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.
The practical details
Lead time: Three weeks minimum; more for food, contracts or security. Accessibility: Required in the plan, not added later. Close-out: Reconcile expenses, return gear, note what to fix. These specifics can shift from term to term, so confirm anything time-sensitive — a deadline, an appointment, an eligibility rule — before you count on it.
If you have a question
This is handled by Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555-0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or use MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If another office turns out to own the question, they will pass it along rather than send you back to the beginning.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
