“The print industry is here to stay, with endless possibilities that continue to evolve. Each department is like a well of knowledge, working together as a team to bring creative visions to life. From unique formats and finishes to a wide range of substrates, the opportunities for what can be printed are truly limitless. It’s an amazing feeling to see incredible pieces come together — whether it’s a small custom run or a large-scale campaign, print makes a powerful and lasting impact.”

– Jenny Appledorn, Ferris State

“Clemson taught me how to exists and thrive in the print industry, but it also taught me how to keep improving and learning. Every day, I face a new color related problems at work, and every day I know how to trouble shoot and work with others to come to a solution. It also set me up with so many connections across the country to where I never run out fellow industry partners that I have encountered either at work or in school. I even get to help train and mentor others at work through the knowledge I have gained since graduating.”

– Megan Brown, Clemson University

"My experience as a graphic designer in the print industry has been both exciting and educational. I work on many different types of projects, from stickers to brochures to large wall graphics. With each project I work on, I push myself creatively and learn new things about project management and the printing industry."

– Emma Siestsema, Michigan State
