The McDougal Center only provides space and facilities, not overall planning and supervision of student group events. Contact Mary Beth Radigan, supervisor, Central Area, 432-6881. The McDougal Center office can not loan or give groups such supplies as its budget is limited. A designated event coordinator should come before the conference and be trained how to use the equipment if it is needed. A public phone is available in the vestibule, and a blue Yale phone is available at the HGS Main Gate.
Event organizers are responsible for all coordination, payment and follow-up with any caterers.
Central Catering has extensive experience in providing food service in McDougal Center rooms, and therefore has detailed knowledge of size, seating, and set-up. Catering equipment or dishware cannot be stored in the Center overnight, and must be removed immediately after the event. Event coordinators are responsible for their own publicity. The McDougal Center does not design, produce or copy posters or fliers for events organized by student groups or departments. The McDougal Center will not create or maintain web pages for events but will provide links from its existing pages.
