Upon approval, please contact Lindsay Recchie, assistant to the chancellor, well before the event is scheduled. If the chancellor is participating in your event, a representative from University Special Events must serve on the planning committee to offer assistance and to ensure that university protocols are followed, that the proper officials are invited and that there is coordination of publicity/media coverage of the event. In addition, all collateral materials, such as invitations and programs, must be approved by University Special Events in consultation with the Chancellor’s Office.
