Strong Support in Cincinnati
Having great administrative support proved crucial last year when the university faced the situation of having to vacate the building that housed Printing Services (an old Sears store).
"It was literally falling apart," he says—and he means it; bricks were dropping off the facade.
This could have been an opportunity for the university to close down the department. Instead, Wesseling, a 39-year U.C. employee, used his open line of communication with administration to provide examples of other colleges, like the University of North Texas, that were successfully using strong offset operations to print recruitment materials, resulting in increased admissions. Wesseling made these contacts while attending the Association of College and University Printers (ACUP) conference.
