The university has been recognized by campus planners and architects as one of the most distinguished campus settings in the world.<\/p>\n With an economic impact of over $3.5 billion per year and enrollment of more than 44,000 students, UC is the largest single employer in greater Cincinnati.<\/p>\n UC has been credited with defeating polio, inventing Benadryl, creating the first YAG laser to treat brain tumors and creating the very first cooperative education program blending coursework on campus and outside work at a partner firm, giving students over one year of relevant work experience by the time they graduate.<\/p>\n Many UC programs are nationally ranked, including musical theater, neurology, science, law and aerospace engineering (Astronaut Neil Armstrong was a professor of this program until his passing).<\/p>\n UC has been a Print Shop Pro\u00ae<\/sup><\/span> (PSP) user since 2012. In 2018, UC hosted the annual ACUP conference for higher ed in-plants. The Print Shop Director, John Wesseling, sits on the board as VP of ACUP and welcomed peer in-plants to tour his expansive print operation. We had the pleasure of meeting with John following ACUP to learn more about his operation.<\/p>\n John has been with UC for more than 43 years! John shared, \u201cI have either attended or worked at UC since 1972.\u201d John oversees a robust printing operation for UC with the support of two Print Managers, Karen Kappen and Mike Burke. John\u2019s team manages printing for all schools including 100% of the printing for Cincinnati State. We also asked John his favorite types of print jobs. He shared, \u201cWe hosted the World Choir Games in 2012 and it was the first time the event was held in the US. We had participants from 64 countries attend and many were non-English speakers. Our department got really creative and we printed large street wraps on a Substrate press with a laminate and no adhesive and laid them in the streets and around campus. Many of our guests could not ask for directions or speak English, but they could follow the music notes on the ground to dorms and use them to find their way around campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

A Family Environment<\/h3>\n
The Print Services department is spread over three on-campus copy centers and is run by a staff of 15 print operators and one Graphic Designer. The two shop Managers who support John are also long time UC employees. Mike has been with UC for 32 years and Karen is the new comer and has been with UC for 12 years. \u201cWe\u2019re a big happy dysfunctional family,\u201d John joked. \u201cThe average tenure of our staff is about 22 years.\u201d
When asked about the biggest change he has seen his shop undergo, John commented, \u201cA big shift for us was transitioning from solvent based ink to latex ink. With latex our images appear sharper and it\u2019s inexpensive so it saves our shop money.\u201d<\/p>\nUC Welcomes World Choir Games Participants<\/h3>\n
