From the Editor: Another Successful ACUP
Another highlight was our visit to the in-plant at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The 11-employee shop, about 80 miles southwest of Minneapolis, has an impressive collection of equipment, including a four-color press (and a friendly staff that didn't mind our probing questions).
For the first time this year, ACUP held an awards banquet, honoring in-plants for quality print and design in five areas, as well as for laudable accomplishments in sustainability, collaborative service, meeting difficult deadlines and more. Jimmy Friend, retired director of printing at the University of North Texas, acted as emcee of the ceremony. Of special note were the very first ACUP Hall of Fame award recipients: Ray Chambers and Maury Kane, both long-time ACUP supporters and past hosts. Maury recently retired from Temple University's in-plant, and Ray (as all IPG readers know) has helped many in-plants as a consultant and IPG columnist/blogger. Hats off to them and all award winners.
