The Benefits of Event Planning

Event planning is an important part of your organization's role. By programming, you will learn many transferable skills such as time management, budgeting, teamwork, and communication. Programming will also help you retain the members of your organization and it will help those members to make a connection to the University. Good programs also help the reputation of the organization, thereby solidifying your membership.

Advertising

We suggest, for effective advertising, to get the promotion out at least one week in advance and two weeks for larger events. All promotions should include the following:
  • Title of the event
  • Location- building and room name/number
  • The time – including am or pm
  • Admission cost, if any. Let people know if it is free
  • Sponsoring organization
  • Phone number and/or location where people can get more information
  • Name of group/speaker performing and a brief description if necessary
How/Where to Advertise
The following are suggestions as to where and how you can advertise:
  • Hanging banners : Contact Silke Crombie (scrombie@unca.edu) to reserve banner space.
  • Posters
  • Blue Echo
  • By tabling
  • Facebook (Social Networking sites)

Event Forms

UNC Asheville Film Policy

To show films or TV shows to the campus community you must purchase the rights to do so.  Movies and TV shows, (whether they are DVDs, or Videotapes) that are available for rent, purchase, checked out from the Library, or are recorded at home, are for home viewing purposes only. Viewing rights do not depend on audience size or cost of admission.

The exception to this policy is if a professor is showing a film/TV show in a classroom, as part of the regular curricula.

United States Code (Title 17, Section 202) states that it is a violation of Federal law to exhibit prerecorded discs beyond the scope of a family and it social acquaintances, regardless of whether admission is charged. What that means for student organization is that you cannot rent Iron Man and hold a showing of it for 53 of your closest friends.
