Media Services and Video * Overview & Policies
Event Support
Media Services provides event support for the college’s three major lecture halls and public spaces. The preferred method to request event support is to contact Kofi Asare, Media Admin Associate at x3822 or email kasare@tc.columbia.edu.
All organizations requiring the use of the audio visual installations in the college's major lecture halls (Cowin Center, Milbank Chapel, and the Grace Dodge Room) must contract a Media Services technician for technical support. The audio-visual installations in these halls need experienced technicians to operate them and will not be operational or available to the users unless prior arrangements have been made with Media Services.
All special A-V equipment requests (i.e. multiple microphones for panel discussions, additional projection systems set-ups in classrooms or other spaces, Polycom video conferencing or web-casting set-ups, video/audio recording, etc.) will involve additional technical fees plus the standard hourly cost of hiring our technical staff (there’s a minimum hire requirement of 4 hours for all technical staffing needs).
TC organizations arranging for technical support will need the approval of either a department program coordinator or a budget director so Media can charge the department’s budget (only those authorized to sign off on budget lines can sign a Media Assistants time sheet for hours worked and approve a budget transfer for the special equipment set up fees.) For non TC groups all fees and tech charges will be invoiced.
