Student Event Planning

The University of Windsor recognizes that student events and activities are an essential component of campus life. The information provided here is intended to help student groups plan and execute fun, entertaining and well attended events, while minimizing the various risks associated with hosting an event.

Event organizers must remember that planning a successful event means more than providing a fun atmosphere, it means providing a safe one as well.
