Food and Beverage
If ANY food or beverage is to be made available to members or guests attending a meeting, program or event in the Yellowjacket Union, arrangements MUST be made with the University Dining Service; 715-394-8102 . Cash and catered operations are available. All food and beverages MUST be provided by the University Dining Service. UW-Superior has a contract with a corporate vendor granting them exclusive rights to these services in the Yellowjacket Union.
Recognized student organizations may provide pre-packaged food and non-alcoholic beverages and/or prepared food that is delivered for meetings and programs in the Yellowjacket Union from pre-approved, licensed and fully insured alternate suppliers per Business and Financial Services Office policy. Food and beverages obtained from any combination of alternate suppliers may not exceed $100 in total cost per event, including delivery and gratuity charges.
Solicitation and Sales
Recognized student organizations and University departments or program areas may solicit in the building. Outside interests and private enterprises will be allowed to solicit only at the invitation of and under the sponsorship of a recognized student organization or University department or program area. Sponsorship includes the assumption of responsibility for the activity and includes monitoring of the event. Individual, sponsored outside interests shall be limited to 3 dates per semester.
ALL solicitation must take place from a contact table reserved in advance. Solicitors must wait for people to inquire at their assigned space. Solicitors may not move through the building to confront patrons or verbally approach them in a forceful manner as they pass. This applies to materials for sale, materials to be given away free and to activities aimed at persuading people to a particular viewpoint or course of action.
Minimum sponsorship fees for sales by outside vendors, payable to the sponsoring organization, are:
- $25/day for sales by sole proprietors or limited partnerships
- $100/day for sales by larger businesses or corporations
It is highly recommended that sponsoring organizations negotiate fees to their greatest advantage.
Credit card promotions will be allowed only under the sponsorship of the Alumni Association per University policy.
Contact table reservations may be made by calling 715-394-8535 or in Yellowjacket Union Room 151.
