Policy on Outside Speakers
Palmer College encourages its recognized student organizations to
sponsor guest speakers whose presentation will contribute to the
role of the College as a forum for intellectual discussion, debate,
and investigation. It should be understood that providing a
forum in no way implies College approval or endorsement of the views
expressed by the sponsored speaker. This statement must be
included in all publications and advertising of the event.
Recognized Student Organization Speaker Guidelines
In order to permit the adequate planning of presentations by
guest speakers, student organizations seeking to invite an outside
speaker must submit a Speakers Information Form (which is available
in Student Services) at least thirty-days prior to the event. The
guiding principles underlying this policy are summarized as follows:
- A request to invite an outside speaker will be considered
only when made by an officially registered student organization,
faculty organization, or other campus organization. All invited
presentations must support the educational Mission of the
College and its Tenets as written and approved by the Board of
Trustees;
- No invitation shall be issued to an outside speaker without
the prior written approval of the president or such person as
may be designated by the president;
- The Faculty advisor(s) to the student organization(s)
sponsoring the speaker must be in attendance from the beginning
of the program until the end;
- Each proposal for an outside speaker shall provide a
description of the proposed event, including the proposed list
of invited speaker(s), panelists or presenters, and a detailed
outline of the presentation; and the educational value to be
derived from the speaker/event. All invited presentations shall
be informational and not promotional.
- The core academic program of the College will have first
priority in the use of College facilities;
- A maximum fee of five dollars may be charged to attendees of
the presentations/lecture/event.
The following Speakers/Special Event Information Form must be
submitted to the Student Activities Coordinator for an event to be
considered and approved:
