Here's what some of our clients had to say:
"Working with Conferences & Events truly made planning and executing our large reception effortless… I was able to mingle with the guests and enjoy the evening"
- Haley Woods, Assistant Director, Undergraduate Admissions
"I want to thank you and Conferences and Events many times over for all your help with our first "Summer School in Logic and Formal Epistemology." Starting up new program is frustratingly difficult, and we could never have gotten it off the ground without your help… everything went marvelously smoothly, and we are looking forward to continuing to work with you in the years to come"
- Jeremy Avigad, Associate Professor, Philosophy
"The Tepper School of Business recently utilized Conference & Event Services to assist with the planning and hosting of a 700-person event . . . In addition to assisting us with the overall event planning and staffing, we were able to successfully delegate entire portions of the event to Conference & Event Services without any problems. Would I recommend Conference & Event Services? You bet… I already have many times!!"
- Lynne LaLone, Executive Director, Tepper School of Business
"Conference and Event Services has provided housing services for the Department of Biological Sciences Summer Undergraduate Program for several years. This has been a real task providing summer housing for non-CMU students as well as some CMU students for our ten week summer programs… Each challenge has been handled with diplomacy and all of our students leave with a positive impression of Carnegie Mellon. This speaks volumes to the efforts of Conference and Event Services."
- Carol Lee, Assistant Business Manager, Biological Sciences
"I'm writing to commend the fine work of Beth Yazemboski for an event that was vitally important to the university… we had an on-site review for a pending major center grant. Beth and her Conferences and Events team handled many aspects - flawlessly, professionally and impeccably. While I could point to numerous specifics, Beth's positive attitude and unflappability stand out in my mind. Both were a source of great comfort during a nerve-racking preparation and execution."
- Jim Osborn, Executive Director, Medical Robotics Technology Center
"I have been working with the Conferences and Events Office at Carnegie Mellon for over two and a half years… It has been a pleasure working with Carolyn and the staff at Conferences and Events. They are the consummate professionals. They respond in a timely manner to our requests, they are always pleasant and courteous… I feel at ease turning our requests over to Carolyn because I can trust that we will be taken care of efficiently."
- Karen Krieger, Director of Operations, The Princeton Review
"I was very pleased with the quality and efficiency of service… I look forward to working with you again next year, and in years to come. Keep up the good work!"
- Barry B. Luokkala, Ph.D., Teaching Professor of Physics, University Director; Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences
"Carolyn, you are grace under pressure and a wonderful partner. Dr. Cohon observed that Media Relations has perhaps done more to promote Pittsburgh than **any** other group in the city. Of course, we couldn't have done this kind of work without you. We got good, national coverage and made lots of new friends for the university's scientists".
- Teresa Thomas, Asst. Vice President for Media Relations
"Carolyn thank you for the marvelous support you provided for the Nash Lecture… I am grateful for your quick-thinking in arranging for so much and anticipating an audience of truly unknown proportions! I was extremely fortunate to have you help me with this lecture, which by everyone's account was a great success."
- Lauren Ward, Director, Media Relations Mellon College of Science
"Carolyn, I owe you my greatest thanks for your planning, insights and ingenuity for the October CASW meeting… we benefited from your excellent planning, contract negotiations, budget monitoring and oversight. I can't begin to enumerate the many ways in which you assisted in making this event such a success for the University."
- Lauren Ward, Director, Media Relations, Mellon College of Science
"…the fine job Carolyn Manley did in coordinating the various parking and security needs for the 2005 Senior Olympic Games… on behalf of all of us here at Univ. Police, please extend my personal appreciation and "thanks" to Carolyn for her collaboration and partnership on a long event that I think reflected positively on Carnegie Mellon."
- Creig Doyle, Chief of University Police
"Carolyn Manley worked closely with us for months helping fit sessions into the right venues, coordinating the catering and numerous other complicated logistical aspects. Then, during the conference itself, she and her staff came through tremendously, assuring that each session came off without a hitch… Carolyn and her crew withstood our onslaught like no crew I've experienced."
- Jay Letto, Conference Manager, Society of Environmental Journalists | | | | |
