Education Support Services is comprised of three groups:

  1. Event & Media Production supports events including conferences, performances, symposia, and ceremonies. This group includes the Media Production Center’s Hauser and 50 Church Studios. There is generally a fee associated with these services.
  2. The Teaching & Learning Support group provides multimedia resources for graduate and undergraduate course instruction within the FAS, ranging from AV support in FAS learning spaces to lecture capture services for simultaneous enrollment courses.
  3. Integrated Audiovisual Services supports technical infrastructure, including consultation, design, engineering, project management, and installation of new AV technologies as well as repairs to existing AV systems in FAS spaces.

The media production team offers a range of media production support, including short-form video production, podcasting, video and audio production, and physical media capture. The team is happy to assist and guide in solving audio and video media problems.
