Events Planning and Coordinating Committee

 

Mission Statement

The Events Planning and Coordinating Committee (EPACC) is composed of faculty, staff and students appointed to administer funding for artistic and academic events that enrich the academic and cultural life of the college community. Our charge is to create a diverse program of special events, concerts, lectures, and lively arts presentations. We hope to sponsor several major events each year that appeal to a broad spectrum of the college community, as well as to support events connected to particular departments. The committee welcomes collaborations across programs and departments.

Members of the Committee

S. Boselli (2007-10), D. B. Lowy (ch) (2007-2009), L. S. Matthews (2006-09), M.E. Robertson (2008-2010), M.K. Warwick (2008-2011), J. W. Gabel (as needed), R. F. Good (Provost's Representative), J. E. Regentin (College Life Representative), C. M. Zarrella (as needed); TBD (Student Representative

Budget

Our budget includes former LPAC funds and the Provost's Lecture Fund. Proposals for Common Hour should be sent to this committee. We intend to allocate 70% of our budget for three or four major events and 30% to support smaller-scale department activities. Proposals come to the committee from many sources, and members of the college community may apply for funding for events. Collaborative funding is encouraged.
