After more than 100 years of history and over 4,000 alumni, RIT will no longer offer the Print and Graphic Media Technology bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. This deactivation follows multiple years of low enrollment within the program. “A lot of young people associate printing with newspapers… they don’t see a career in newspapers, so they overlook printing,” Myers explained. “Maybe they’re interested in imaging, like Photoshop, Adobe Creative Suite or digital printing. But when you look at RIT, there are nine or 10 majors that claim that space.” In 1981, the program peaked with a total of 775 students enrolled. Myers proclaimed, “We were the Harvard of printing at one point.” Now Cal Poly San Luis Obispo stands alone as the Stanford of printing.

American Trucking Associations’ advanced seasonally adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index decreased 0.7% in May after falling 0.6% in April. In May, the index equaled 113.7 (2015=100) compared with 114.5 in April. “Tonnage, despite falling slightly over the last two months, remains well above the lows of last year,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “This is no small deal considering that truck tonnage fell significantly less than many other indicators during the depths of the pandemic in the spring of 2020. “One freight segment that is helping tonnage is gasoline as demand for travel, both commuting and vacation related, picks up,” he said. “I’m also expecting retail freight to remain robust as inventories are at historic lows. As retail stocks are rebuilt, it will boost freight. As has been the case for some time, trucking’s biggest challenges are not on the demand side, but on the supply side, including difficulty finding qualified drivers.”
