Services

The University Events team serves as advisers to and partners with University departments, staff, and faculty on planning and producing a variety of events that help the University advance its mission.  A University-wide partner, we collaborate with the CSUCI community to provide helpful, personalized logistical and event planning support.

We understand that event planning can be daunting, but don't worry, we've got you covered! In addition, we are also organizing a forum to identify and address any issues that you might be facing. We truly value your ideas and are committed to providing support during your training.

We can't wait to learn and explore with you at University Events!

Equipment

University Events maintains a robust inventory of equipment available for your event, including chairs, tables and A/V equipment.  A complete list of the inventory can be found in the resources section of 25Live.

University Events does not have equipment to support hybrid (part virtual, part in-person) events.  We can refer those interested in hosting hybrid events to an approved and trusted AV vendor.

All vendors must be approved by the Division of Business and Financial Affairs prior to contracting. The University Events office has information on high quality vendors able to provide additional services and resources not available from the campus.
