Union Productions often co-sponsors events with FSU organizations and agencies. We can partner with your organization and provide assistance with event planning, management, and promotion. We also have a large calendar of events that your organization can co-sponsor and help us get the word out to more students. If you have an event idea you’d like to discuss more with UP, please full out the form below and email it to Kristina Stefanelli, Co-Sponsorships Coordinator, at upcosponsor@fsu.edu.
Your organization can also co-sponsor events in the CDU. The Club Downunder is staffed entirely by students from Union Productions and our Executive Board approves the Co-Sponsored events held in the CDU.
The CDU is only open certain evenings due to budget, staffing availability, holidays, and other events on the UP calendar. UP reserves the right to turn down co-sponsorship requests even if there is not another event on the requested date.
Union Productions strives for quality events for all students and potential co-sponsored events are evaluated in the same manner as any other event in the CDU. In order to be approved for a co-sponsored event, an RSO or SGA agency must follow these guidelines:
- Complete a co-sponsored event request form available from the CDU website and return it via email to upcosponsor@fsu.edu.
- An RSO representative must meet with the UP Co-Sponsorships Coordinator within two weeks of the submitted request to go over details of the proposed event.
- The Co-Sponsorships Coordinator will present the request to the UP Executive Board for approval, and only after board approval will the RSO be notified that their co-sponsored event has been approved or rejected.
Your event is more likely to be approved by the UP Executive Board if it is:
- Performance based and cannot be held in another venue (comedians, bands, speakers, etc.).
- On a night that the CDU needs to fill.
- Likely to draw a large crowd.
- Unique and adds diversity to the CDU calendar.
If a co-sponsored event is approved, Union Productions will provide the venue and equipment, full staffing, advertising through its website and residence hall flyers, as well as assistance with the negotiation and contracting process (if necessary). The RSO or Agency provides the entertainment, travel and meal arrangements, and most importantly, a crowd!
