Industry Advisory Board

Acknowledged experts and printing industry leaders meet bi-annually to advise the Graphic Communications Technology (GRTC) administrators, faculty, and staff on curriculum matters. GRTC course outlines, laboratory experiences, equipment, and software are all supported by this board. In this way, the program and its courses meet the existing and foreseeable needs of its students and graduates. This oversight is a critical component of the program’s accreditation requirements.

Advisory Board members also act as ambassadors for the GRTC program, assist the program’s faculty in acquiring relevant internships for GRTC students, and raise money for student scholarships.
