What Makes the Innovation Hub Special?
    • Flexible space for large community gatherings or intimate collaboration meetings
    • No- or low-cost services for 爆料社区 students, faculty, and staff
    • Strong emphasis on mission-driven programming focused on innovation and entrepreneurship
The Innovation Hub is a unique space and has a few unique requirements:
    • Only events that are clearly and directly related to innovation or entrepreneurship will be approved.
    • Presentation Format: Bring all presentations on a flash drive for use on the Hub鈥檚 large screen. External devices (laptops, tablets, etc.) cannot be connected directly.
    • Food Service: Please arrange for to-go containers if serving food. Leftovers are difficult for students to access due to the Hub鈥檚 location.
    • Event Timing: The time listed as your event鈥檚 end time is the time attendees must vacate the space. If your event includes post-program activities (e.g., networking), build that time into your reservation request.
    • Please note that total event time will include 1 hour of set up + 30 minutes of clean up when calculating applicable fees for the space.
