<Title>Spring Event Update</Title>
<Tagline>25live event processing</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>We look forward to a new semester and we continue to improve and enhance our processes to fit the needs of our campus. We are making an update to our scheduling process which you may see as we move into the spring semester. Moving forward, we will be adding a new tool to our toolkit to better address 25live requests and help schedulers effectively communicate their needs when requesting space.  We will begin using the “denied” event state for requests when we receive: </span></p><br><ul><li><p><span>Requests with inadequate turnaround time or outside reasonable planning parameters</span></p></li></ul><br><ul><li><p><span>Events proposed in an unsuitable location</span></p></li></ul><br><ul><li><p><span>Lack of information in the request which makes evaluation of the needs of the request uncertain</span></p></li></ul><br><p><span>Please keep in mind that a denial is not a judgment on your proposed request. We are using it as an opportunity to obtain clear and relevant information to better assist you moving forward with your goals. </span></p><br><p><span>If an event request is denied, a member of the events team will reach out with advice as to how to resubmit with the proper information. You can always reach out to the Event &amp; Conference Services team at 5-3615 or at </span><a href="mailto:schedule@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>schedule@umbc.edu</span></a><span> for assistance. </span></p><br><br><br><p><span>In partnership,</span></p><br><p><span>Matt Bolling</span></p><div><span><br></span></div></span></div>
