  • The Purdue Concert Guide
    THE PURDUE CONCERT GUIDE Booking a concert for your student organization is a big commitment in time and resources. It is important to understand the costs related to this activity and the procedures that Purdue requires in order to put on a successful event. This manual is meant to help guide you through planning and executing your event. IMPORTANT NOTE: All Student Activities Organization (SAO) and Business Office Student Organizations (BOSO) policies including budget preparation, contract negotiations, and overall event approval must be followed by the student organization. (HINT: words in bold italics throughout this document are defined in the Glossary) WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN: TIMELINE: *see timeline template (live link) It is best to give yourself ample time to plan your event. Four months is ideal, at least one semester of advance planning is suggested by SAO and BOSO for concerts to which admission will be charged, and an Activity Form must be submitted at least 90 days prior to your proposed event. Planning a timeline for your event is an important element of your overall event coordination. The timeline lists the deadlines for each event need and who is expected to accomplish them. The timeline will not only help your organization know where you are in the planning process, but it can also help student organization advisors, financial advisors and venue personnel know how you are progressing on your project. There are several large planning elements that will need greater detail within your overall schedule: (1) booking and contract negotiation, (2) budget preparation, (3) marketing planning and strategy, (4) catering plans, and (5) day of show schedule/show sheet.

Farris Head, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Purdue University 701 West Stadium Avenue West Lafayette, IN 47907-2045 Ph: (765) 494-5118; Fax: (765) 494-0307 [email protected] https://engineering.purdue.edu/aae March 21, 2009 Purdue 2014 USNCTAM Proposal Page 1 TH THE 17 U.S. NATIONAL CONGRESS OF THEORETICAL AND APPLIED MECHANICS AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY 1. INTRODUCTION Purdue University is pleased to submit this proposal to host the 17th U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at its main campus in West Lafayette, IN, in 2014. The proposed theme for the Congress, “Mechanics of Multifunctional Devices,” has a highly multidisciplinary context that reflects the versatile nature of mechanics. The fundamental principles of mechanics have been applied in emerging technologies including micro-scale structures, semi-conductor devices, cell motion, biomedical systems, energy-harvesting systems, as well as in traditional disciplines from aerodynamics to structural engineering. The physical phenomena described by mechanics spans multiple length scales from quantum wells to impact crater formation. The scale of mechanics problems ranges from closed-form solutions to massive parallel computation. To reflect the modern advances in mechanics, we propose the theme of Mechanics of Multifunctional Devices for the 2014 Congress. Institutional support from Purdue for the Congress is expressed in letters (Appendix A) from Dr. Leah Jamieson, John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering and Dr.
