The Cedric Rucker University Center

The Cedric Rucker University Center (CRUC)’s mission is to provide a campus center that fosters a collaborative and respectful environment where members of the UMW community can engage in their extracurricular and academic pursuits. This 100,000 square foot facility is managed by the Office of Events and Conferencing, which, along with Events AV and the student Concierge Services Team, supports numerous events and meetings.

Reserving a Space

The University Center has many different spaces that are available for reservation by Student Clubs and UMW departments. These spaces accommodate a wide variety of needs for any event. From small meeting rooms to a large, multipurpose ballroom, the UC can host your event.

We have switched to our new 25Live scheduling system for use by the UMW community.  Off-campus entities should reach out to the Events and Conferencing department for more information in booking spaces on campus.

If this is your first time using the system, we recommend reading through the 25Live guide.
