Internal or Minor Campus Event: Internal events are those hosted by JU student/faculty/staff for JU student/faculty/staff only.
Minor campus events are those that have less than 30 guests and require minimal logistical or resource provider support and occur in fixed rooms or academic spaces. These events may include small technology systems and table/chair requests and catering services. These events can be booked directly through 25Live Pro. Examples of Minor Campus events are department meetings, student organization gatherings, guest speakers, workshops.
External, Co-Hosted or Major Campus Events: This is for any event where non-University guests are invited to JU's campus.
Major campus events may require extensive logistical/resource provide support including, but not limited to: large audio/visual equipment, IT support, resources moving and set up, campus safety, catering and other services. These events normally occur in specified major event venues and/or outdoors, and require detailed set up and room configurations.
