Event Production and Media Services

IT-UMS supported Biden Institute launch and other events

University Media Services (IT-UMS) provided the staging and lighting design and technical support for the launch of the Biden Institute. The Institute, led by former Vice President and UD alumnus Joe Biden, aspires to be “an intellectual center for scholars, policymakers, activists and national leaders” with a mission “to help shape and influence the work on some of the nation’s toughest domestic problems.”

UMS also streamed the event live and provided video and audio feeds for a large overflow crowd of invitees.

IT-UMS also coordinated the staging and lighting and provided the audio, video, and live streaming for the “Biden is Back” event on the Green, which celebrated the former Vice President’s return to the University of Delaware. IT-Network and Systems Services (IT-NSS) also provided support with both direct and wireless network access which supported the live stream and press connections.

IT-UMS also provided the technical operations and live streaming of the first Biden Institute event, “Win-Win: How Taking the Long View Works for Business and the Middle Class.” The event, held in Mitchell Hall, featured a panel of eight corporate leaders and experts and was moderated by former Vice President Joe Biden.

The Biden events were among the 182 campus events that IT-UMS supported in Mitchell Hall, Pearson Hall, the Roselle Center for the Arts, and other campus locations.

Video production

IT-UMS has also produced 28 documentation recordings, provided full stadium production and streaming of 16 Lacrosse games, and completed five full production programs including “Run, Hide, Fight,” a video for the University Police demonstrating actions and procedures that should be taken by campus community members should they be confronted by a violent intruder.
