Resources

Planning an event requires keen attention to detail, and it can sometimes seem overwhelming. The Office of University Events has created this tool kit to help you create meaningful, memorable events in your own schools, colleges and units.

These resources are to be used as a guide, as each event is unique. Please feel free to contact us at 304.293.7132 if you have a question or need guidance in a particular area.

*Note that the Office of University Events plans to order Flying WV patches in mid-spring. Notice will be given to Key Communicators for a buy-in option, which will help in securing a bulk price for the patches.
