On September 3, 2015, the center for leadership and service (CLS) will be hosting the Event Lottery for all events that will be hosted in Downs Hall during the fall semester. For any organization or group that will be hosting an event in Downs Hall, please abide by the rules below:

• An executive board member, if possible the president, must be present at the lottery on September 3, 2015, at 3:30 p.m. in the Miron Student Center (MSC) room 315.
• In order for non-funded groups and Greek organizations to enter the Event Lottery, non-funded groups must meet with Jennifer Weingart and Greek organizations must meet with Alex Louis in MSC room 219
• After the Event Lottery, all funded groups must meet with Stephanie Faser
• Event Lottery happens every semester and organizations will only allow to choose one date per semester to host a party in Downs Hall

At the Event Lottery each organization present will have their name placed in a container, which will be drawn by the host. Whichever name is drawn out of the container first will be able to be the first to pick the date of their choosing for a Downs Hall event. The process will continue on for the rest of the organizations.

When organizations and groups sign up for an event date, they must abide by these rules:

• If an organization needs to cancel any upcoming scheduled events they must file a completed cancellation form at least five days prior to the event. If the event is not canceled within five business days prior to the event then the group will be responsible for any cost.
• There are two mandatory meetings that organizations must attend with the coordinator of special events before the occurrence of any event. Organizations must attend this meeting in order to receive information of responsibilities. If the organizations do not attend the meetings it will result in cancelation of the event and any other events for the rest of the year.
