Notice / Event Policy and Room Reservations

To: Paul Smith’s College faculty, staff

Delivered: August 24, 2020

With the many changes on campus,  there is a new policy and procedure for booking event space on campus.  The below policy has been approved by the Paul Smith’s College Cabinet and will go into effect immediately.  If you are planning something within the next five days and have not reserved space yet please reach out as soon as possible.  It will be added to the college policy folder, but I wanted to get the information out as soon possible.  If you have any questions please let me know.  The goal is to ensure that we can provide safe and clean spaces for the campus community to gather in a safe and responsible way.

Thank You,
