One-Stop-Shop AV Services for Students/Faculty/Staff

This semester, the SAE Sound Crew has been absorbed into the Events AV Office to create a one-stop-shop for all audio needs on campus. As part of this change, the Events EV Office will now support audio for all faculty, staff, student clubs and SAE-sponsored events regardless of venue. Audio services include PA systems, live music support and music playback. Visual services include movies, basic lighting, PowerPoint, video and skype needs.

“We wanted to create a one-stop-shop for all AV needs on campus,” said Mark Simpkins, Assistant Director of Events AV. “We felt that this change would provide a consistent level of professionalism for all events. It also helps the student staff develop and grow in the AV field as they are mentored by Events AV staff.”

To submit an audio request, please visit https://adminfinance.umw.edu/events-av/events-av-request-form/. Requests must be submitted a minimum of 10 business days before the event to ensure availability of staff and equipment. Last minute requests (within less than 48 hours) may be turned down.

Contact the Events AV Office at 540-654-1199 or events-av@umw.edu for further information.
