Purpose

Late night dances and large social events occurring on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus are an important part of campus life because they offer members of the University community an opportunity to socialize and be together. In the tradition of shared governance, sponsoring student organizations and campus administration work closely together to plan safe and successful events. The following guidelines have been developed to help minimize the risk of problems and to create a safe environment for dances and similar major events sponsored by Registered Student Organizations (RSO). Large Social Events are events typically held in Memorial Union (MU) Great Hall, MU Tripp Commons, Union Theater, Union Terrace, and the Red Gym On Wisconsin Room. A Large Social Event is generally defined as a dance, party, concert, performance or similar event that has approximately 100 attendees or more and occurs between 8:00pm and 2:00am in the Wisconsin Union.


General Expectations

UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Union expect that the RSO submitting a request for facility use will actively participate in all aspects of the event’s organization and execution. For additional information, see Night Of Event.
