Dear Aaron & Ruben,
Thank you for expressing interest in the Brooklyn College Student Center.
This conference sounds impressive and we would love to have it here.
Please contact as soon as you can an okay. At present, we have an event
that is scheduled on Sunday Nov. 23, 2003. Monday, we have scattered
events, but there is still a fair amount of space available. We will
meet in order to decide which rooms would be of use to you.
I can be reached via email and at extension 5528. I await your response.
Have a pleasant day.

I still have to get the okay from our Director of ITS. What makes most
sense is to hold it in SUBO. I think Whitman Auditorium, even for
Stallings, is much too large and too expensive. There are two rooms in
SUBO, the Gold room and the Penthouse, either of which can hold 200
people, both of which have Internet access. For Saturday and Sunday,
SUBO is ordinarily closed, and to open it, you would have to pay staff
charges of $600-$700 a day. Rental of a room for 60-80 is $80/hr
($20/hr if we sponsor you), and rental of the large rooms is $180/hr
($45/hr if we sponsor you). For more information on renting rooms from
SUBO, contact Mitzu Handy at mhandy-at-brooklyn.cuny.edu. Ask her for
rooms with Internet access for those programs that need it. I'm pretty
sure you can get a projector and a screen (do you need one for each
room, or one total?)
