Event Support
Submit a Request
To submit a request for event support, please schedule your event or meeting in EMS at least two weeks before the scheduled event and include all of your audiovisual needs. The person listed as the primary contact for your event should plan to be in attendance and able to respond to requests for additional information or clarification. If possible, please list only one primary contact.
Please enter the exact event start and end time in EMS. You do not need to add extra time for audiovisual set-up and tear down. Media Center staff will review your request and ensure sufficient time for pre-event preparations.
If you are hosting a speaker or performer outside of the College community, please review contracts before signing and ask the speaker or performer to sign a media consent form if video or audio from their event is to be recorded. If the speaker requires specific audiovisual support, please consult with Media Services before signing the contract.
Support
The Media Center will assign one technician to support an event for a maximum of 5-6 hours of work. If your event will require more than 6 consecutive hours of tech support, please consider hiring an outside contractor.
Unfortunately, the Media Center cannot provide any lighting equipment for events.
Printing
The Media Center provides large-format printing in the Digital Media Lab. Large-format printing related to academic projects is available to students, faculty and staff. Additional large-format printing for all other non-academic projects is limited to one print per person. The Digital Media Lab prints on premium semi-gloss (luster) photo paper by default, but special accommodations may be made ahead of time for matte paper or other print types.
For regular color printing, check out the FAQ: Does the library have color printing?
