Printing
Description
The Printing Department has made positive
strides in bringing current technology to the college campus. This includes
high-volume digital network copiers, computers and bindery equipment used by the
department. In addition to continuing this trend, the focus for the next three
years will include automation of various tasks using the most current technology
in order to serve the college needs. EX: Tracking Software
Curriculum Impact
Our proposed plan will impact all
departments for Grossmont College, as well as the District and Cuyamaca College.
Both, administrative and instructional reproduction together with related
Printing Department services link closely to the college’s student success in
the classroom, from the initial enrollment process through to graduation day.
The Printing Department is an essentially effective tool used by all staff to
promote a high-quality education for all students.
Approximate Number of Students Served
The department currently serves all
Grossmont College students through faculty, staff and administration
publications on both campuses (Grossmont and Cuyamaca) plus the District
offices. The number of students served is expected to rise in the next 3 years.
We project that our Technology Plan will accommodate current enrollment, as well
as, the needs of an increased student population.
Support Impact
Technical support needs will most likely
remain the same in the future. The Printing Department will use existing
personnel and, if needed, arrange for our current staff to receive the
additional training required for our new technically enhanced services.
