Next year, Reed looks forward to bringing a spring concert to campus. While Winona State makes more money on non-students, the university brings these acts in for the students. "If we were to sell all the tickets to our students, then we are doing our job," said Reed. Reed stressed the importance of knowing how hard UPAC works to provide quality entertainment. "The industry is very fickle, and it is impossible to please everyone's taste," said Reed.
