Would you like to have a departmental event at Java Wally's?

  • Host should visit the Library events page to submit an event request. Sue Roethel will then contact you and post the event info if approved.

  • Host is responsible for posting the event on the RIT events calendar https://events.rit.edu:446/ for campus information.

  • If refreshments from Java Wally's are required for the event, Sue will email you an internal charge approval form to be filled out by someone with budget authority within the hosting department.

  • The Library has an overhead sound system installed over the soapbox area.  This system works with a headset that needs to be worn by any speakers for proper amplification in the room. This equipment is available by request from Sue. Any other technical equipment must be reserved from ETC by you, the hosts, under your name. Delivery, setup, removal and security of the equipment should be arranged by you.

  • If you are having Java Wally's refreshments, Sue will arrange to have your refreshments delivered at the time of your event and to have pick up of the refreshments containers at the conclusion of the event. Please make your request known to Sue at the time you reserve the space.


EXPENDITURES OVER $50? Why not run a tab?
