Drexel University Student Technicians

DUST is a group composed of Drexel University students, hired by the Event Services Office to assist with audio visual support for University City Main Campus events. Any organization that has an event on the University City Main Campus can utilize DUST services at a fraction of the cost of hiring an external sound company.

How do I request DUST services?

• First, you must be sure to RESERVE your event space with the Event Services Office.
• DUST Request Form [PDF] should be submitted to the Event Services Office (10) business days prior to the proposed event. This is to ensure sufficient processing time for the services needed. Request submitted (5) business days, or less, advance will be assessed service fee or may not be able to be accommodated.
• Contact DUST at 215-895-1330 two days prior to your event to confirm arrangements.

NOTE: DUST requests are accepted on a first come, first served basis as equipment and technicians are available.

Why should I use DUST?

The combination of the DUST members' professionalism and our modern equipment (for example, we use the same wireless microphones as several major performers) make DUST a respected group on the university campus. Most importantly, DUST technicians are less expensive than an outside companies, but they still provide the excellent service and results of a professional sound company.

How much will DUST services cost?

The Event Services Office provides affordable packages to meet the needs of most campus events. For special event needs, a consultation with the Manager of Technical Operations will be needed and a cost estimate can be provided.
Please note that package rates are for equipment only and do not include the required technicians needed to support each package. For more information please refer to the Package Price List and Sample Service Cost Estimate [PDF].
