A unit has two options if they wish to partner with an outside entity to host an event at UW Tacoma.

1. Provide unit staff to assist with the planning and to be the Responsible Event Manager and On-Site Point of Contact for the event. If you select this option, Conference Services staff will be onsite on the day of the event to ensure the event gets started. Once the event is started they will turn things over to the unit staff.
