University of Minnesota, University of North Texas earn 2012 Best of Show awards

By Bob Neubauer

A humble man, Friend is quick to credit his staff for the turnaround and the subsequent run of awards. Their loyalty to UNT and dedication to the quality of their work, he insists, are what have earned the in-plant its substantial collection of In-Print awards—54 since 2004.

Friend also heaps praise on the other in-plants that have inspired him and his staff to try harder, such as University of Oklahoma Printing Services, which has its own long history of winning In-Print awards. Years ago, Friend talked with OU Administrator John Sarantakos to find out how his in-plant was able to win so many awards. Using these tips, Friend and his staff have chased OU for years in the In-Print contest, striving to do as well. This year, for the first time, UNT surpassed OU in the total number of awards, something that leaves Friend both proud and grateful.
