External Clients

As resources permit, we welcome non-profit external clients that further the vision and mission of the University. We will review request for dates no more then 6 months out as we first need to prioritize booking on campus departments and student organizations. During the academic year, we are heavily booked in all our event spaces, conference rooms and classrooms especially with school starting mid August and then again in late January.
