On June 5th, YC&E had the pleasure of hosting members of the CT Colleges/Universities Consortium for Event Professionals on campus to explore best practices for summer programs, conferences, and events. Held at the Greenberg Conference Center, the discussions covered a range of topics, including event space management, university policies, and summer program logistics like case and housing management. The consortium also introduced its new website, designed to be a central hub and forum for members.
The event included a lunch, a detailed tour of Yale’s residential colleges to provide insights into summer operations, and concluded with a casual reception at Greenberg, allowing members to network and relax. The gathering was a productive opportunity for member colleges to exchange ideas and enhance their event management strategies.
Member institutions in attendance included:
- University of Connecticut
- Wesleyan University
- Mitchell College
- Connecticut College
- Albertus Magnus College
- Western Connecticut State University
- Southern Connecticut State University
- Quinnipiac University
- Trinity College
The consortium eagerly anticipates the next meeting, continuing its mission to foster collaboration among Connecticut’s event professionals.
