If you have problems contacting the necessary approvers, contact Roxanne Edsall in the Student Activities Office at 255-4169. There is really no need to come to an EMPT meeting to discuss smaller events. However, if you would like to get on their agenda to discuss your event, contact Roxanne Edsall at 255-4169. Also, check with Roxanne to verify that EMPT will, in fact, meet the week you want to attend. In addition, you will, in most circumstances, be required to hire an insured and licensed caterer if any expected attendees are under age.
Many groups have potluck-type events.
If you do have a caterer supply food, they must be approved by the University to assure proper insurance. First, you will need to submit a UUP form. And, if your event includes the printing or sale of any merchandise which contains the Cornell University name, nickname, logo, or artwork, please be prepared to submit an application to the Office of Publications Services. You will need to submit a UUP form. Also, you must obtain a letter from the organization which the fundraiser is supporting.
