2026 AV and Tech Fund Update

At the start of the 2024-2025 Academic Year, Event Management set up a fund to help students manage AV and technical costs for activities held in Lerner Hall. This Academic Year from September 2025 through May 2026, the fund saved students $123,164.

Event Management’s AV and Tech Fund saved student groups money this year, allowing them to reallocate funds to other aspects of their events.  

The fund was created to cover Recognized Student Group technician needs based on last year’s programming and accommodating new events. Thanks to the savings, notable performance events were able to put resources into additional tech rehearsals in the auditorium, helping the groups fine tune their final performances.

From small savings to larger benefits, the AV and Tech Fund is just one initiative underway to help recognized student groups facilitate more, bigger, better and cost-efficient programming for the campus community. Learn more about the AV and Tech Fund's impact last Academic Year.
