Departmental Policies & Procedures

Refreshments Items For Seminars

Authorization for expenditures on any given semester for "punch and cookies and coffee" is given only to 197K/397K seminars with valid unique numbers in that semester.

If there are any other occasions on which you wish to serve refreshments, you should contact the Associate Chair . Please note that support for these additional events will be limited.

The ME Department staff will not purchase any of the "punch and cookies and coffee" items; purchasing will be the responsibility of the Faculty in Charge of the 197K/397K seminar.

The Faculty in Charge of the seminar will have to float the cost of these materials over the semester and retain valid receipts.

For each 197K/397K seminar the ME Department will reimburse up to $50 total in receipts associated with the "punch and cookies and coffee" items for that semester only.

To be reimbursed, no later than Finals week of that semester the Faculty in Charge must present to Kathryn Samec the receipts incurred for that semester.

The account for a given 197K/397K seminar will close at the end of the Finals for that semester and no further receipts will be processed.
