An Event Director is a student trained by a professional staff member who manages registered events held on‐campus. Event Directors are responsible for maintaining a safe event environment, and ensuring that all attendees abide by federal, state, and Ursinus College laws and policies.

Any registered event within a Reimert suite requires three Event Directors to be present for the duration of the event. Any registered event within a designated Main Street house requires four Event Directors to be present for the duration of the event.
