The Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy is pleased to support co-sponsored events under the following guidelines:
-
ISERP staff will work in conjunction with a designated Coordinator from the hosting department, however, ISERP staff will not work in lieu of a full-time/part-time Coordinator.
-
ISERP can provide onsite support, within reason, and provided it does not conflict with another ISERP planned event, or planned staff absences. Support maybe provided by Work Study students.
-
Should the demand of an event exceed ISERP’s capacity to provide support we reserve the right to decline supporting the event.
-
ISERP must be given adequate notice to provide onsite support for events –
-
For large-scale events of 100 people or more, 6 months advance notice is required.
-
For mid-sized events of 50 – 100, 3 months advance notice is required.
