Faculty Speakers Bureau

How to Request a Speaker

• Select your first, second and third choices from the list of speakers and topics.

 

• If you would like a speaker or topic not on the list, contact the speakers Bureau office (795) 864-5169.




• Complete the online request for speaker form and submit it at least four weeks prior to the date of your scheduled program. You also may call the Speakers Bureau Office, (785) 864-5169, with your request, or request a printed copy of the form.




• The earlier we receive your request, the better chance we have of scheduling your first choice.




• Please understand that all members of the speakers bureau are employees of the university. Their speaking engagements must be scheduled in the context of other university responsibilities.




• Upon request, we will provide background information to introduce the speaker. When the topic or event warrants, the Office of University Relations will send a news release to the media serving your area.




Upon receiving the request, our office will:

• Contact your first choice. If that person is unavailable, we will schedule your second or third choice.




• Send both the organization and the speaker a letter/email of confirmation.




• Send a follow-up confirmation letter one week before the engagement to both the speaker and the organization. Included in the letter will be an evaluation form, allowing you to give us feedback about how the program worked.
