HOST 109 - Nonprofit Event Planning

3 Credits
This course examines the creation, servicing, and management of event programs, specifically those stemming from the non-profit sector. Emphasis is placed on becoming fluent in industry terminology and operations via a focus on logistical support, shibboleth, and cost/profit results. The course focuses on the unique operational functions of this singular component of the event planning (i.e. the non-profit sector) while accepting that students enrolled in the course will likely not be event management professionals but will need to work with event professionals in their career pathways.
