WHO WE ARE

Campus Events Council

The Campus Events Council, composed of event planners and event site managers from across campus, provides members with the tools, resources, guidelines and information to plan and produce events that consistently meet Georgia State standards. Strong emphasis is given to protocol procedures when dealing with the university president, provost, key VIPs and government officials. The council provides training materials, shares resources, and advises members and their departments on special programs and events. To learn more or become part of the council, please contact Christopher Robertson.
