CIPE Conference Room
The CIPE Conference Room may be booked for alumni-related use. Its spacious and comfortable setting is ideal for meetings, reading groups, or get-togethers with students.
Booking
Alumni should request a booking using this form. Bookings need to be made at least 2 weeks in advance, so that we can schedule a Student Associate to be present and provide logistical support.

The room booking is only confirmed when the alum making the request receives a confirmation email from Alumni Affairs. If the timing is not available due to another College event, exigencies of work or other circumstances such as facilities maintenance, Alumni Affairs may decline the booking; alumni should then consider another date for the booking.
