Media Services Support for Campus Events

Media Services Support for Campus Events:

Media technology equipment, staff support, and video recording for campus events is available to faculty, staff and students.

Please note: support for courses and some teaching and learning initiatives is free of charge.

Charges apply for requests that require on-site or remote support for the duration of an event. Examples include Zoom webinars, panel discussions needing multiple microphones, high-profile events, events requiring complex A/V equipment, live streaming, etc.

Media Services applies a fee for service model. Each service (Zoom tech support, AV, production, live streaming, etc.) incurs an hourly fee independent of the staffing required to deliver the service.

A proposal will be provided to confirm your request, our process and any charges.
