Co-Sponsored Event Information

Pace University's co-sponsored events must promote enrollment, advance academic programs, cultivate potential donors, and/or enhance brand identity. Additionally, Pace University faculty, staff and/or students should be involved in presenting content and/or participate as attendees.

Determining the benefit of a co-sponsored event and approval is conducted through Pace University's co-sponsor event application process. Review by departmental VP or school/college dean, along with respective budget/finance representative, is necessary for final approval to proceed with planning and executing the event.

Applicants must submit a 25Live request, receive confirmation of space availability and confirm space usage fees with Special Events prior to completing the application process. The 25Live record confirmation number, along with space usage fee estimate is required to complete the application. The 25live space reservation will remain in a tentative state until the co-sponsored event has been approved by departmental VP or school/college dean and budget/finance representative.
