In the fall of 2010, UTC moved to a new location on the second floor of the student center.
In 1997, MN officer elections were held in the winter quarter. The elected officers would run UTC for one year beginning in the spring quarter. In 1997, Jean Paul Bulot became President, Ryan Lee was Vice President, Patrick (last name needed) was treasurer. 1997 saw a dramatic increase in the number of shows put on at UTC, largely due to the hard working booking agents Ramsey Tantawi and Doug Jury as well as publicity managers Stewart (last name needed) and Todd Stokes.
In 1998, Ryan Lee was president, Spencer Ho was Vice President, Jean Paul Bulot was Treasurer. Tantawi and Jury remained booking agents and pulled in some of the best acts UTC had ever seen including UTC's first international band. Stokes remained in publicity and was promoted to Operations Manager along with Andy Bullard. The largest show in UTC history was held that year (fact check - this could've been 1997) with Hot Water Music opening up for Avail. Around 500 people paid and many of them stood outside.
