Memorial Chapel Hiring Student Event Manager

JOB DESCRIPTION: As a Student Event Manager, you will assist at weddings, lectures, concerts, and other events held at Memorial Chapel. You will provide logistical support by meeting with groups at the beginning of their time reservation to learn how they would like the Chapel equipment arranged for their event. You’ll also go over a checklist of policies with them to make sure all details are covered. Additionally, you will get to help in the Chapel’s office by updating our social media sites, answering phone calls, and working to ensure proper communication between the Chapel and our clients. Training and a manual are provided, and your first two assignments are with a veteran Chapel staff member.

ASSIGNMENTS: Based on your availability, you will be assigned THREE-FOUR weekends per semester. A "weekend" means being at each rental event scheduled for that weekend which may include a Thursday. Wedding rehearsals are held 4-10pm on the Thursday and Friday before the Saturday and Sunday weddings. (Most weekends have 4-10 events.) Weddings/Events can be scheduled 9am-10pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Occasionally you will be assigned to weekday evening events, such as concerts and lectures. You must be comfortable with managing an events facility independently. You may bring food when working during meal hours. Business dress is expected and you will be provided with a nametag to be worn while on duty.

QUALIFICATIONS: You must enjoy working with people, be dependable, very punctual, responsible, and willing to help create successful events and weddings. You must take pride in your appearance and understand the importance of representing the University. This position requires a self-starter and independent worker who is willing to learn and politely but firmly enforce all the policies of the Chapel.
