Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, processes and locations of in person events has changed.However, we want to continue to offer our student organizations the opportunity to connect with students. With that in mind, below are the steps for student organizations to table/meet in person this semester.
MEETINGS AND EVENTS
Can student organizations meet?
Student organizations are permitted to meet in Capitol Federal Hall during normal business hours, Monday-Friday 8-5pm while courses are in session. Student organizations are not permitted to meet in Capitol Federal Hall for after-hour meetings, events and/or programs.
We highly encourage student organizations to meet virtually for the Spring 2021 semester. The School of Business will provide student organizations with virtual options and best practices.
What guidelines must I follow when hosting an in-person event or program?
Reservation for programs and events in Capitol Federal Hall require an adherence to the following guidelines:
· All in-person events and programs are required to include a virtual event option. The online event option must be clearly advertised with the in-person information.

What spaces can I reserve?

The Capitol Federal Hall west lawn is also available to reserve for special programs and events. Programs and events hosted on the west lawn may require special permissions through the Office of University Event Management and Protocol. The School of Business Events Director is the primary contact for west lawn use. Please note that a tent will be placed on the Capitol Federal west lawn as a holding and studying space for students.
Multi-use spaces will not be available for Spring 2021 reservations. Unavailable multi-use spaces include the Colloquium, Hive and Atrium. Additionally, conference, study and interview rooms will be unavailable for Spring 2021 use.
When is space available?
Due to smaller classroom capacity space availability in Capitol Federal Hall is limited. However, as the below chart suggests, a variety of spaces are available all-day and throughout the evening.

Can I host guest speakers?
Yes, guest speakers can attend classes and special events and programs. All non-KU guests attending campus are required to follow all Protect KU guidelines including practicing social distancing and wearing a face covering at all times.
Guests on campus must complete a CVKEY app health assessment before entering the building. The faculty or staff hosting the guest speaker must complete an online tracking form provided by the Events Director. This form includes contact and class visit information to ensure we can safely track building attendance.
How do I create a virtual option for in-person events and programs?
By utilizing the online Event Request Form, we’ll work with you on a variety of virtual event options, all of which will require you to live-stream your program or event through the classroom technology.
The online option, including URL link, must be clearly advertised with the in-person information.

TABLING
Tabling will be available Monday-Friday 10a-3p on the Capitol Federal Hall west lawn. We will have two tabling spots available each day. Student organizations may reserve the entire time (10a-3p) or a portion of that time (ex. 11a-2p) but only two student organizations are permitted to table each day – one at each of the available tables. Tabling requests must be completed and confirmed 5 business days prior to the date the organization wishes to table. I will make an exception for the second week of classes, as we have finalized this policy so close to the start of the semester.
