Campus Events Management Plan

The purpose of the Campus Events Management Plan defines how the University manages the use of its facilities so that events do not exceed the available parking and traffic capacity of the neighborhood, and that minimize or  eliminate other impacts of events on the Dominican residential neighborhood.
