University Relations

University Events

Behind every smoothly functioning event is a knowledgeable team that has worked for weeks – if not months – to make sure every detail goes according to plan. The University Events team is behind the scenes at all presidential and university-wide functions and we can consult with your department on events, as well.

Presidential Functions

From official ceremonies to social events, University Events plans and executes all presidential functions, supporting President Becker as he promotes the university and engages our friends and supporters.   

University-Wide Events & Promotions

Twice a year, University Events works with departments across campus to stage Georgia State’s commencement exercises in a way that befits the significance of the occasion. University Events also coordinates various events such as ground-breakings, ribbon-cuttings, press conferences and athletics promotions.

Event Planning Services

University Events can support your department events with effective development, management and marketing to ensure that they meet university guidelines and standards. Some of the areas that we can advise you on include:

  • Event marketing and protocol
  • Cost and budget management
  • Timelines and checklists
  • Program design conception and production
  • Logistical coordination
  • Facility use and design
  • Event promotion and public relations
