SOF Events Calendar

The calendar shows SOF specific information about planning needs and timelines. This includes deadlines, reminders of upcoming planning periods, school meetings, and other info.

SOF Event Planning

Planning an event involves, at minimum, Program Leadership, Program Administrators, and significant conversation in advance. In certain cases other parties will be looped in for logistical, legal, or promotional reasons. Please begin these conversations with as much information as possible.

General Considerations

    • What is the purpose of this event/How does it align with Parsons/your program's goals?
    • Is this a public event (because it is open to the public or I am working with an external partner)? Or, is it internal to a program or school?
    • What is the total duration of the event (including estimated time for set-up/break-down)?
    • What do I expect the total attendance will be?
    • What sort of furniture arrangements will I require?
    • What sort of technology (microphones, projection, etc.) will I require?
    • Do I plan on offering catering for the event? If yes, what is my funding source?
    • Do I plan on serving alcohol for the event? If yes, who will check for legal drinking age?

Making an Event Request

If you are requesting an event, contact your Program Administrator to support you in planning.

If you are working with an external partner, the external partner must provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). For more information on when/why a COI is necessary, please see Certificate of Insurance (COI) Policy.

Event requests are not guaranteed and are contingent upon room availabilities, staffing availability, budgetary considerations and program director and/or dean approval.

Requests for non-classroom spaces should be made 4-8 weeks in advance of the event. Requests made less than 7 days prior to an event will not be supported by the SOF Ops team.
