Tabling, Advertising, and Reservations

Tabling

The Smith Commons is the perfect place for your group to have a table and advertise events or generate awareness about a cause. Situated next to the food court, groups will see maximum exposure during the lunchtime rush. A maximum of four (4) tables are available on a daily basis. Please make sure to read our tabling policies under the Policies and Procedures tab.


Digital Advertising

The Tink has four digital displays throughout the building near entrances, which can display digital content and advertisements on a rotating basis. Student organizations may request to display advertisements on these displays by completing the reservation form.


Smith Commons Reservations

The University Center recognizes that some events may require more space and flexibility than a standard tabling reservation, but may not necessitate a formal event space. For such occasions, recognized student organizations and university departments may request to reserve the Smith Commons Area for their event.

Commons Area reservations are subject to the following guidelines:

  • Reservations must be made through the Assistant Director of Event Services and are subject to approval.
  • The layout and seating structure of the Commons Area must remain unchanged during the event. Furniture and fixtures can only be rearranged or removed with prior approval from University Center staff.
  • All other policies and guidelines outlined in the "Tabling" section, including those related to food distribution, etiquette, and professionalism, apply to Commons Area reservations.
  • The University Center reserves the right to limit the frequency and duration of Commons Area reservations to ensure fair access for all recognized student organizations and university departments.
  • In the event of conflicting reservations or University Center priorities, the University Center reserves the right to relocate or reschedule Commons Area reservations as necessary.

Commons Area reservations allow recognized student organizations and university departments to host larger, more flexible events while maintaining the University Center's professional atmosphere. We encourage interested groups to work closely with University Center staff to plan and execute successful events in this space.
