NorQuest College Centre for Excellence in Print Media and the Graphic Communication Institute are joining forces in an extraordinary educational endeavor. September 8 saw the successful launch of the new partnership with the workshop presentation of GrCI's popular "Lean Printing: Pathway to Success", at NorQuest College’s campus in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Coming from as far as Ontario, attendees enjoyed two days of intense orientation to the Lean philosophy, specifically as it pertains to the graphic communication industry.
"NorQuest College is excited to co-sponsor this new effort in partnership with the Graphic Communication Institute at Cal Poly," says Josh Ramsbottom, Coordinator for NorQuest College's Centre for Excellence in Print Media. "We are all well aware of Cal Poly's leadership in graphic arts education in the U.S., and feel that providing opportunities for attendees to learn from some of the most knowledgeable instructors in the industry will greatly benefit participants here in Western Canada as well as in the U.S. Pacific Northwest."
The next co-sponsored event on February 18-19, 2010 will cover the topic of Variable Data Printing and Cross Media Marketing. Dr. Penny Bennett, Cal Poly’s leading authority on all aspects of digital printing and variable data printing, will be presenting.
