Tabling

Each organization will be provided with an 8-foot table, tablecloth wrap, and two chairs inside Montview Hall. Please do not bring oversized large attractional signs, banners, balloon arches, etc. Only bring banners and information about your organization that will fit comfortably into your space. Small candy and/or promotional items are allowed.

Speaking in Classrooms

As an Expo vendor, you will have the chance to be directly in front of students in the classroom, where you can communicate your vision, share student success stories, and expand on the next steps that could align their future with your organization’s mission. As we get closer to CSER Expo 2025, we will notify different academic departments at Liberty that you are coming. A list of academic departments and their corresponding contact information will be provided to our vendor organizations in email correspondence from LU Serve.
Please note:

• You are responsible for reaching out to professors individually to try and schedule a time to speak to their class to share about your organization’s opportunities to serve.
• You must email the individual faculty according to your organization’s goals and focuses. You may NOT send mass emails.
