About SA Tech Services

The SA Tech Services officially operates ONLY when classes are in session, due to the fact that the crew is made up entirely of students. While there are usually one or two students around during the break(s), it is not a guarantee. If you have an event prior to the start of a semester, please contact the Director of SA Programs, Personnel & Finances at krebban@geneseo.edu or one of the Tech Directors at techserv@geneseo.edu.
