Skip to navigation MENU SEARCH EVENT SERVICES Home / Contact Us / Event Services Planning Your Event Faculty and Staff If you are interested in planning an event, please email us at events@law.umaryland.edu with your desired event date and time so we can check the master calendar to ensure your event does not conflict with others. If you require an Eventbrite page to collect RSVPs from participants, we can assist you with that. You may reserve a room using the Room & Resource Scheduler, but if you plan to offer food, you must contact Barbara Gontrum prior to making a room reservation request. Students If you are interested in planning an event or holding a meeting, you must first submit your event details to the Office of Student Affairs via the Student Organization Events Request Form. If you require an Eventbrite page to collect RSVPs from participants, the Office of Student Affairs will assist you with that. Once the Office of Student Affairs has approved your meeting or event, you may reserve a room using the Room & Resource Scheduler. If you plan to offer food, you must first contact Ann Kim at a.kim@law.umaryland.edu for approval prior to making a room reservation request. Hosting an Online Event If you have a umaryland.edu email address then you have access to a Zoom account. Through your personal Zoom account you can host meetings for up to 300 people and use Zoom functions including chat, hand raising, and polling. In a regular Zoom meeting, all participants are visible. If you would like to host a webinar, the events team has access to a webinar-enabled Zoom account. In a webinar, you can accommodate up to 1,000 participants and only the host and presenters are visible. You can enable chat and Q&A functionality and limit what is visible to participants. You can also broadcast your event on Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms. You cannot do breakout rooms in a webinar. Helpful hints regarding Zoom Webinars. To use the webinar account for your event, contact the events team at events@law.umaryland.edu.
