Keys to Our Success
This hasn't been an easy process, but rather a slow and arduous one. After about seven years, we're finally beginning to realize our goal of becoming less of a drain on college resources and approaching financial sustainability.
One validation of the college's approval of our operation was when a consultant was brought in to examine the efficiency of college departments and programs. While many essential college programs (e.g. multi media) were heavily scrutinized and deemed inefficient, resulting in recommendations for reorganization and staffing reductions, Campus Graphics wasn't among them.
