We’re excited to offer tabling opportunities on campus for Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs) and University Departments! This is a great way to share information about membership recruitment, promote your programs or events, fundraise, give away fun goodies, or sell items related to your sponsored events.
Please note that tabling is reserved for Tulane organizations and departments only, so non-Tulane groups, companies, and vendors, as well as academic class projects, are not able to book or have a presence at tabling spaces. If your group is planning to fundraise, sell items, or distribute food, be sure to follow all relevant university policies. You can find more details in the RSO Handbook.
Remember, tabling is a wonderful privilege for RSOs and University Departments, and it’s important to follow our tabling guidelines to keep the experience positive for everyone. We can’t wait to see what you share on campus!
Tabling Locations
The Lavin-Bernick Center manages 16 reservable indoor and outdoor booth/table spaces in the following locations:
- LBC Indoor
- Berger Family Lawn Patio
- McAlister Way
- Percival Stern Breezeway
Tabling Guidelines
- Each RSO or University department can secure one tabling location per day. To reserve your spot, just send in your request at least two business days in advance through EMS. You can find easy instructions on how to do this in the EMS How-To Guide.
- Tabling is available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters, excluding study period/finals, certain events such as Book Fest, university breaks, and in case of inclement weather or campus closures. If it rains, we have rain locations available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to plan ahead!
- Tabling may be used to promote registered events or university initiatives, recruit members, fundraise, host giveaways, or sales for registered events.
- RSOs or University departments may not reserve a table on behalf of or for use by an outside/unaffiliated group, organization, or individual. This conduct constitutes “fronting” and is prohibited. University employees or students who engage in fronting in violation of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action.
- Tabling materials are limited to your tabling space only.
- Please note that tabling spaces can’t be reserved for activities that require campus services like water, electricity, or custodial support; campus demonstrations; or events including animals. These types of events must be registered through the student organization event registration process or campus demonstration registration process.
