I have been covering the AV industry for more than 20 years, and I can categorically state that I’ve never met a community of peers more willing to share ideas than those in higher education. There’s always a bit of friendly coorpertition, but everyone quickly supports their counterparts and helps to celebrate each other's accomplishments.
The individuals on the AV/IT team are the unsung heroes of the university campus. Their work helps ensure classroom technology is up-and-running, easy to use, and engaging. They are on the front line when new technologies are announced that will benefit the campus and classroom. Their work contributes to the university's bottom line by attracting new students and maintaining current students.
