High Profile Events
How do I schedule a Dean-on-Call or Sexual Assault Dean-on-Call for my event?
Fill out the Dean-on-Call/Sexual Assault Dean-on-Call Request Form, or attend a bi-weekly high-profile events meeting. At the meeting, brief reviews are conducted of all high-profile events scheduled to occur in the upcoming weeks. During this meeting, the decision may be made to schedule an Event Review, which is a meeting with all stakeholders that is dedicated to discussing your specific event in more detail.
