As you prepare your 2015-2016 zero based budget spreadsheets, please account for projected cost increases from the Campus Center and Event Services Office.

Catering costs are projected to increase an average of 2.5% based on labor rates and product costs.

The CC&ES event planning staff are available to discuss ways to adjust menus and other planning details in order to help manage costs for events on campus. Please also consider the "Simply to Go" option from Dining Services for any events that are applicable. The "Simply to Go" service is designed to remove much of the labor from food service on campus and may be a good choice for many meetings and events.

Audio visual rates are projected to increase to $11/hour on January 1, 2016 due to the impact of New York State minimum wage increases.

Departments planning events requiring summer housing and meals should contact their CC&ES event planner directly to discuss projected rates for these services.

Please contact the Campus Center and Event Services Office directly at 274-3313 with any questions.
