Questions to Ask

Why and What

  • What is the purpose of the event? Is the event consistent with the organization’s constitution and purpose?
  • What are the event goals?
  • What is the event budget?

    • Who

  • Who is responsible for planning and implementing the event?
  • Who is the intended audience?
    • Anticipated attendance. This will assist you in choosing the most appropriate space on campus to host your event, since all spaces have different capacities and set-up options.
  • Does the event have any sponsors?
  • Does the event have any co-hosts?

    • When

    Confirm the event date you have chosen does not conflict with other major or similar events going on around campus or Columbia. A few places to check:

  • Mizzou Academic Calendar
  • MU Engage
  • calendar.missouri.edu
  • Holidays and Dates Celebrated

    • Where

    If you plan to host your event on campus, you generally need to make a reservation. Mizzou uses two reservation systems: 25Live and EMS.

  • 25Live. 25Live is used to reserve centrally scheduled space controlled by the University of Missouri Registrar’s Office.
  • EMS. The EMS portal is where you will submit event requests and schedule space for most non-academic venues at Mizzou.
  • Reservation Access. You must be listed as the President or Vice President of your group on MU Engage to make a room reservation.

    If the event is outside, do you have a rain location or inclement weather location?

    • Accessibility Tools

    Important information for you to consider to ensure your event is accessible to all Tigers.

    Accessibility Tips

    Making events accessible to everyone means that all students can join in and enjoy! Plan ahead to ensure accessibility for everyone.

    Accessibility Statements

    Events should include an accessibility statement placed on printed and digital marketing. An accessibility statement helps people request accommodation(s) when needed and for planners to ensure their event has all accessibility needs before the date of the event. Make sure accessibility statements can be clearly read on webpages, graphics, and other marketing materials.

    Sample Accessibility Statements

  • MU Engage event page: “Organization Name” strives to make events accessible to all. Please reach out to [name, phone number, email] to ask for accommodations. Please reach out at least (# of days) prior to the event and we will do our best to address accessibility requests.” Recommended number of days for accessibility requests: 7-13

    On Engage, you can also provide any known accessibility barriers (e.g., “We will be providing dairy-free ice cream at the ice cream social.” or “There is no elevator in this location.”)
  • Graphics: “Need an accommodation? Email [organization email address]. “

    • Choosing a Location

    When considering a location for your event, do a walk through. This ensures that the venue fits your and the attendees' needs.

    Risk Management

    Types of Risk

    Physical Risk

    These risks involve harm or injuries to the physical body. Event risk factors may include injuries from physical activity, inclement weather, equipment or materials, food related illnesses, alcohol consumption, dangerous travel conditions, medical emergencies, etc.

    Reputational Risk

    These risks apply to the reputation of individuals, leaders, the organization, offices/departments, as well as the University as a whole. Event risk may include poor conduct or behavior at an event or an event with offensive subject matter.

    Emotional Risk

    These risks pertain to the thoughts and feelings of those participating in the program or event. These risks may include hazing, lack of accessibility to the event, discrimination against participants, controversy or disruption of the campus, adverse reactions of participants, or sensitive subject matter.

  • Free Expression at Mizzou
  • The Office of Accessibility and ADA is a great resource when considering what accommodations you should have at your event.

    • Financial Risk

    Financial risks include both the budget for the specific event and the overall financial health of an organization or group, office/departments, and the university as a whole. These risks may include a lack of cost reduction where possible, poor budgeting, failing to meet fundraising goals, and the opportunity for a lawsuit with financial implications.

  • BPPM 2:037 – Bank Accounts: University-Affiliated Organizations
    • University-affiliated organizations often receive funding to support their activities. These funds must be governed by the students within the recognized group.
    • University-affiliated organizations must establish their own bank accounts to handle non-University funds. Specific organizations (i.e. divisional Student Councils, Stripes) that receive a direct allocation of activity fee funds are provided with a chartfield for these University funds. Per directives from the Student Life department, these specific organizations cannot maintain outside bank accounts. All other University-affiliated organizations must deposit their funds in an outside bank account.
  • Additionally, pursuant to Chancellors directives effective 07/25/2017 until further notice: Any University employee who has authority to make expenditures, transfers, or other disposition of funds in a bank or other financial account of any student organization must obtain advance written approval of the employee’s supervisor and the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs for each expenditure, transfer, or other disposition of funds from such account that the employee makes. This approval requirement does not apply to expenditures from accounts of student organizations that are executed by students alone and not by a University employee.

    • Facilities Risk

    These risks include both the safety of the facilities used by event participants and the maintenance of the facilities used by participants. These risks may include a lack of proper set-up or clean-up for the event, safety and security issues at your location, a lack of familiarity with the facilities and location or the disruption of university facilities.

    Mitigating Risk

    Risk Management Planning

    Creating an event-specific plan is a great way to account for the types of risks that may be present at certain events. The plan may call for certain protocols (e.g., first aid stations, permits, parking procedures, or security requirements) to help manage potential risk.

    Consider adding the following information on an event management plan:

  • Event Information. This would include basic information about the event including the event title, date, location, organization hosting the event, and contact information.
  • Objectives. Enter clear, concise statements of the objectives for managing the response. Ideally, these objectives will be listed in priority order. These objectives are for the incident response for this operational period as well as for the duration of the incident. Include alternative and/or specific tactical objectives as applicable.
    • Objectives should follow the SMART model or a similar approach:
      • Specific – Is the wording precise and unambiguous?
      • Measurable – How will achievements be measured?
      • Action-oriented – Is an action verb used to describe expected accomplishments?
      • Realistic – Is the outcome achievable with given available resources?
      • Time-sensitive – What is the timeframe?
    • Spread the Word. You can plan for every scenario and create all of the risk management processes in the world, but if no one knows about them, they are of no use. Establishing risk management practices for your programming and events is key, but then it is important to train others on those processes. Highlight and prioritize the event risks and brief the people helping coordinate the event.

      This is not a narrative on the objectives, but a discussion about where to place emphasis if there are needs to prioritize during the event.
      • Known Risks. It may be a sequence of events or order of events to address. Example: Watch out for cars before allowing participants to cross the street Example: Ensure the water has been turned off before powering up the activity
      • General Situation Awareness. This may include a weather forecast, environmental conditions, and/or a general safety message like “drink plenty of water.”
      • Safe and Proper Clothing. Wearing the proper clothes while coordinating an event can help prevent some injuries. Since various events require different protective clothing, ensuring that you are wearing clothing that is appropriate for the tasks you are performing will go a long way in keeping you safe. Example: wear closed toed shoes, safety vests, etc.
    • Incident Briefing 101
    • Organization Assignment List

    • Waivers

    Signed waivers can protect an individual and an organization from financial and legal consequences. These signed waivers can be completed by event attendees prior to participation in events with increased risk.

    Insurance

    Confirming insurance or purchasing insurance is one way organizations can manage risk present at programming and events. The types of insurance can run the gamut depending on the type of risk and event, including foreign travel insurance, vehicle insurance, special event liability insurance, and property insurance.

    Event Wrap Up

    Steps

    1

    Event Debrief. Shortly after the event, schedule time to reflect on the event experience.

  • Example: Stop, Start, Continue
    • Stop. Things that didn’t work and should stop or be reimagined at future events.
    • Start. Things the organization would like to begin doing for future events.
    • Continue. Things that worked during the event and should be included in future events and activities.
