    River Hawks' Hockey: Centerpiece of “A Whole New Culture”

    UMass MAGAZINE FALL 2007 VOLUME 10 Tsunami NUMBER 3 at the Tsongas River Hawks’ Hockey: Centerpiece of “a Whole New Culture” A Message from the Chancellor I want to reaffirm what I said when I was selected as Chancellor last spring: It is a great honor to have this opportunity to lead the University of Massachusetts Lowell. This campus impresses me more each day as I get to know our extraordinary faculty, administrators, staff and students. Many people have helped me this past year as I have transitioned to a new position, but I want to mention one person in particular, former Chancellor William T. Hogan. I want to thank him for his commitment to UMass Lowell and for the invaluable advice and counsel he continues to provide to me through this transition. I bring passion to this job and a special understanding of the character of the campus—now comes the joy of the work. There is much to do, and I will need every one of you to help achieve our lofty goals in teaching, research and service. We begin this fiscal year facing a serious budget challenge—a $3 million deficit that required us to trim spending and identify ways to operate more efficiently. The financial realities of public higher education demand that we extract maximum value from each dollar spent, and then act as entrepreneurs to grow our resources. The next few years will be a time of building. We will construct an emerging technologies center to unleash the potential of our research on nanomanufacturing and biomanufacturing.

To have a great event, it requires quite a bit of organization and some creativity. What To Do First Planning an event requires the event organizer to coordinate dozens of details and several individuals. Being ahead of the game is always the best way to ensure that your event will be a success. Regardless of the type of event you are planning, you need to have a topic or an idea of what your goals are for the event. T ypes of Events : • corporate events • office parties • fund-raisers • celebrations/parties • conferences • educational seminars • public lecture with an expert speaker • video showing • public debate between 2 experts Basic “Pieces” of an Event There are several elements that are frequently part of special events. They include: • Topic or goal • A planning team • Budget • Facilities • Event program • Guest services • Event materials • Evaluation • And many more! Topic or Goal • Choosing a topic (for a seminar or conference), a financial goal (for a fundraiser), a program (for a celebration/party), or just a basic purpose for the event. The Planning Team • Assemble the team that will plan the event.
