The University Inkjet Program with Valentina Echavarria and Melody Ownby, Canon Solutions America
What does it take to get an educational program off the ground that teaches students in University Graphic Communication Programs all about production inkjet printing? In this case, the answer is two dedicated #GirlsWhoPrint!
Valentina Echavarria MBA, product manager, and Melody Ownby, product planning specialist at Canon Solutions America both graduated from Clemson and wanted to give back. They approached their management team with a concept and a plan to keep students informed on the latest printing technology from Canon, got additional support from thINK Forum, reached out to their former school with a proposal and voilà – The University Inkjet Program was born.
In this episode of Podcasts From The Printerverse, Valentina and Melody share their journey, University Inkjet Program details, and some of the positive results that already have more schools lined up for their initiative.
