Event Management System 

Staff and faculty members are free to reserve indoor spaces through EMS.  There are no social distancing requirements, so the room capacities have been returned to their pre-COVID levels.  Tables in the tent on the Stein Quad are also reservable through EMS. To reserve space on the Stein Quad, choose the Staff and Faculty Request Event and enter Edith Stein Hall for the location. 


Outdoor spaces other than the tables under the Stein tent are not normally reservable.  Faculty and staff can use these outdoor spaces on a first come first serve basis.  The Stein Tent is set up with individual tables that can be reserved for small group meetings/faculty office hours.  Given its configuration, the tent is not well situated for classes.  It is more appropriately set up for small groups/office hours.  If the tent is reserved for a class or event,  tables will not be available to reserve.  If other groups have reserved tables under the tent, the larger tent area will not be available for class or other event use.  


Space in the Stein Tent must be reserved at least 3 days in advance.
