Here are the recommended steps when organizing your event at Vol State
1) Finalize Details
The process of organizing your event should always begin with finalizing all of the details. Details such as where and when your event will take place, how many people you expect to attend, if event equipment will be needed, etc., should be worked out before you begin submitting any of the following requests. While there are minimum time frames to be met with each request, consider submitting as far in advance as possible.
2) Book the Room via Vol State Astra Schedule
Reserve space for the event using Vol State Astra Schedule: https://www.aaiscloud.com/VolunteerStateCC/Default.aspx
3) Complete a Plant Ops Work Order
Plants Ops Work Order Request: https://www.myschoolbuilding.com/myschoolbuilding/MyRequest.asp
A Plant Ops work order should be submitted with details of the event (date, time, location, etc.). Including a detailed layout of tables and chairs with the work order will ensure a smooth and accurate set up. Plant Ops requires a minimum of one day in advance of the event to allow for planning and scheduling.
For more information on the Plant Ops work order process, please contact Michelle Boyd at (615) 230-3617 or Michelle.Boyd@volstate.edu.
4) Complete a Marketing, Communications, and Media Services Event Submission Request
For event assistance from Media Services, visit the Office of Marketing, Communications, and Media Services web-page, and select the Event Submission Request (for Events Calendar) link. https://www.volstate.edu/marketing-communications-media-services
All event requests must be requested at a minimum of 72 hours in advance of the event.
5) Submit Event for Publicity
Event Submission Form: https://www.volstate.edu/events/event-submission
The event submission form should be used to list your events in the Vol State web calendar, digital signs located around campus, and mobile application.
It is recommended that you list your event at least two weeks in advance of the event. If you would like to feature your event in the campus-wide digital sign, you will need to submit the event four weeks in advance.
If you have an evening event where you are inviting the public, please also email the Office of Marketing, Communications, and Media Services (Marketing@volstate.edu) to let them know your intended audience.
