RIT Out of Ink: Print and Graphic Media Technology Program Deactivated
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.
SCA continues with geofencing
Digital speed limitation for timber trucks works well on stretches with a lot of infrastructure, and haulage companies show great commitment to safer timber transports. This is demonstrated by the geofencing project that SCA has undertaken in collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration. "We continue to utilize the technology on both existing routes and new ones," says Lars Nolander, logistics manager at SCA Skog. SCA's efforts to create safer timber transports have been ongoing for several years, and the latest initiative involves testing digital speed limitation, known as geofencing, on four selected routes in Västernorrland and Jämtland, where the road passes through villages or residential areas with houses and residents along the way. The technology involves creating zones using GPS points, where the vehicle senses when it's time to adjust the speed. Four haulage companies and nearly 40 timber trucks have been involved in the project.
