Request Space at the CEC
For a one-time event, complete the CEC One-Time Space Request Form. Submissions will be carefully reviewed on Fridays at 3 p.m. Approvals and denials will be provided by email by close of business the following Tuesday.
We value working with community-both internal and external to UMB, to provide high quality, impactful opportunities for our neighbors.
