Any after-hours meeting that is larger than 10 attendees and is not hosted by a recognized student organization will require a Rollins faculty or staff member to sponsor the meeting.

Once your event is confirmed, if any set up or assistance is needed, a tikkit will need to be submitted to the Fulfillment Services Department a week in advance.
