Event & Meeting Planning

Plan Your Event at the Sadler Center and Other Campus Venues

Student Unions & Engagement (SUE) supports Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs) and University departments in planning successful events for the W&M community. From reserving rooms to coordinating A/V support, we’re here to help every step of the way. SUE schedules events in the Sadler Center, Campus Center, public classrooms (for non-class use), and most outdoor campus locations.
