PROMOTING YOUR EVENT AT THE UNION

If you are a registered student organization or university department/academic unit hosting an event in the Union, the following opportunities are available to help publicize your event.

The Union can accommodate banners on the main (East) entrance to the building, the Meacham Auditorium (East) entrance and the South entrance. Banners must be professionally made and appropriate for outdoor use with grommets for hanging. We also suggest vents for wind. Banners made from paper, bed sheets and without grommets will not be accepted. There is a $25 charge to hang the banner and it will hang for no more than a week. Use the link below to request a banner. Do not have your banner made before requesting approval. 

  • East Entrance Maximum Dimensions: 12 feet long, 4 feet tall
  • Meacham Entrance Maximum Dimensions: 10 feet long, 3 feet tall
  • South Entrance Maximum Dimensions: 12 feet long, 4 feet tall

University Groups

Registered Student Organizations may request tabling space using OU Reserve. University departments/academic units may request a table by emailing union@ou.edu or calling (405) 325-2121. Tabling space is free for university groups.

 

Non-University Groups

Groups/businesses may only distribute flyers in the union from tabling spaces reserved through the Union Business Office and those persons distributing flyers must remain within three feet of their tabling space at all times and not obstruct walkways or other booths.

Non-University Groups may solicit in the Oklahoma Memorial Union by reserving a seven-foot table, provided the product does not conflict with current university contracts and/or Oklahoma Memorial Union contracts or lease agreements. Tabling is available on the first floor of the Union, on a first-come, first-served basis. Non-University Groups may reserve a table at the cost of $300 per day. Additional fees may apply if groups are selling merchandise or fundraising.

  • Groups/businesses distributing flyers on union grounds without tabling space (including the parking facility and exterior lawns and walkways) will be asked to desist and reported to OUPD if they refuse. The offending group may also be restricted from booking space in the union in the future. 

Reserve your table today, by calling (405) 325-2121 or emailing union@ou.edu.
