Up to the Challenge
Despite funding issues and shutdown threats, Walt Leonard has kept his in-plant going for 17 years.
A third attempt to close the in-plant was made a few years ago. Leonard was prepared. He says he has a lot of friends on campus who advocated his cause.
“With any change in upper management personnel, we will go through this,” he says. “They very seldom take the time to look at figures.”
The in-plant is still running the original A.B.Dick and Ryobi presses, along with a Heidelberg MO, a Chief 17 and assorted bindery equipment. The shop produces one- and two-color work and some course pack material; full-color work is outsourced.
