Zinner Forum Policies and Tips
-
Since the Zinner Forum is Heller's primary gathering space, events may not be held prior to 5:00 pm on weekdays. This allows students to gather when there are no classes and also for less disruption during your event.
-
If a classroom is available and will fit your audience, that will be booked rather than the Zinner Forum.
-
When setting up your event, store the existing red chairs, small tables and café tables near the library, not the hall near the classrooms.
-
As soon as possible in your event planning process, contact Media Technology Services (x6-4632) for technical assistance with dual-mode events and meetings, and to reserve a lapel microphone or wireless microphone. Other microphones will not work in the Forum or may interfere with the programming. A lapel microphone and wireless microphone cannot be used at the same time since they use the same frequency. MTS can also supply video cameras and technical support people for dual-mode events.
-
Balloons and candles are not permitted in the Zinner Forum.
-
If you hang items or use any sort of tape, you must remove it from all surfaces immediately following your event.
