Internal Events, Student Events, Town Halls/Conferences

Based on the Advancement Team mission and strategy for our portfolio of work, it is unlikely that we will be able to provide support for any internal events, student events, or town halls/conferences. We may be able to offer limited support, where appropriate, as determined by an event intake meeting following a support request.
Each event will be evaluated individually through an event intake meeting to assess the level of support that the Advancement Team is able to provide.
What We Do
Below are examples of the limited support we may be able to provide for some of these types of events:
Event Registration (only if your mixed audience involves a substantial portion of external stakeholders)
- Cvent Registration Site Creation and Management
- This may include:
- Any payment/fundraising component which may include some or all of the following:
- Appeal Code

- Customized registration questions based on your event needs

Communications Deliverables
- Communications Delivery – At the event intake meeting, based on your audience needs, we will determine the tools that will be used for communications. Each event should have a schedule consisting of: invitation, invitation reminder, and post-event thank you.
- Support with Event Promotion – We can support scheduling/delivery of your promotional assets and provide tools and resources to support but graphics/content development remains your responsibility as the event/program planner.
