Revenue generated by event activity at John Jay College directly funds the operating budgets for Athletics, Space Reservations, the Gerald W. Lynch Theater, college recruitment activity, academic theater programming, student productions, and student support services such as scholarships, housing, and emergency funding. Without earning revenue through rental of space for external events, we would not be able to support all of these important activities on campus.
Any group hosting an event at the college may request a waiver of event-related fees. Approval of such requests are based on several factors:
- Financial impact to the college and the activities detailed above
- Alignment of event and organizing group with college mission and goals
- Benefit to the college community and a strategic plan to build an ongoing partnership
All fee waiver requests are reviewed and approved by the Vice President of Finance and Administration.
