Heidelberg USA Hosts 'Fit To Print' Student Day

The day got underway with remarks by Susan Nofi, Senior Vice President, Human Resources and head of Heidelberg USA’s Print Media Academy. Following a keynote address by Amela O’Gorman, former SkillsUSA winner and currently a corporate trainee at Quad/Graphics, students and faculty got down to business. Throughout the day, presentations were divided along two tracks targeted to high school students, who heard Heidelberg experts discuss prepress, press, and postpress/packaging topics accompanied by equipment demos; and college students, who participated in sessions dedicated to color management, lean manufacturing, MIS, and the business of printing. A separate information session gave high school students an opportunity to hear presentations from each of the college faculty members present about the graphic arts programs at their schools, as well as learn about scholarship opportunities offered by GAERF and EDSF.
