Conferences & Events Planning Office
As a public service arm of the college, the C&EP staff strives to make planning a conference at Linfield as easy as possible. For this reason, we operate a "one-stop shopping" office. Arrangements for facilities, residence halls, food service, cattery, audio-visual equipment, recreational equipment and any other needs are accomplished through the efforts of our staff. The C&EP Office serves as headquarters for all campus activities during the summer months, and for that reason is a bustling place. The office is open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. during the summer months. Conference planners are welcome to visit the office if they have copying to be done, faxes to send, or just need help with the smooth operation of their conference.

Residence Halls:
Linfield's residence halls offer a wide variety of living arrangements, and house between 20 and 100 guests. Each residence hall has coin-operated laundry facilities, a lounge with a color television and a variety of other community facilities. Each residence hall room is furnished with oak furniture consisting of a twin bed, chest of drawers, study table or desk, and a chair for each resident. Depending on the size of the room, there may be a closet for each occupant of the room, or one large closet that the occupants share. Since none of the residence halls are air-conditioned, we suggest that guests bring their own small fans, along with other necessities such as an iron, hangers for the closets, etc. With the exception of a few residence halls that have rooms with private baths, restroom facilities are located on each floor of the residence hall. These restroom facilities, along with the other public areas of the residence halls, are cleaned daily by the C&EP staff.

Keys:
Keys play an important role in the degree of security that a conference group is able to enjoy while on campus. For that reason, the Conferences & Events Planning staff takes the matter of keys quite seriously. The exterior doors to each residence hall now have electronic locks requiring the use of a swipe card. The doors to each room inside the residence hall each have a key unique to that room. The conference coordinator will receive a master key for each residence hall used and it will be his/her responsibility to assist people who become locked out of their residence hall. If a master key is lost or misplaced, the conference director will be billed for the cost to "rekey" the entire residence hall. The cost will be told to the conference coordinator prior to their arrival on campus.
The key tag that is given to a conference participant will also double as a meal ticket for admittance into the dining hall as well as an exterior residence hall key. These cards will not indicate to what building or room the key card belongs. All of the cards feature a special bar code that has been developed to insure our guests a greater amount of security. If a key or card is lost we ask that a conference participant report the loss as soon as possible. If a key is found, it must be taken to the C&EP Office to be properly identified.

Linen/Towel Exchange:
Depending upon the interest of the conference group, linens can either be included in the fee charged for housing or participants may bring their own bedding. If a group has opted to have bedding and towels provided, guests will find the beds made and towels laid out in the room upon arrival. Once a group has arrived, the C&EP staff will not enter a guest's room, unless special circumstances require it (such as a maintenance item). For that reason, there is a towel and linen exchange offered in the C&EP Office. Guests may bring their soiled linens or towels to the office, and the staff will exchange them for clean items.
Laundry Facilities:
The C&EP Office does not operate any public laundry facilities. However, conference participants will find that there is at least one washing machine and one dryer in each residence hall, usually on one of the lower levels. Guests are welcome to make use of these machines, but are encouraged to bring their own detergents and supply of quarters. The cost for each washing machine is 75 cents per load and for each dryer 50 cents per load.
