Many printing industry leaders — both past and present — attended the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to earn a bachelor’s degree in printing. Dating back to 1922 and long considered the premier program for the graphic arts industry, it drew trade and high school graduates who often hailed from family-owned printing businesses.
