Lont & Overkamp Printing, a 105-year-old commercial printing operation based in Prospect Park, NJ, has hired Ron Dobbs as its new quality control manager/sales representative. Dobbs was the former owner of Future Graphics and Media, and will help L&O expand into new markets.
The PIA/GATF has named John Santos recipient of its 2007 Education Awards of Excellence. Santos teaches graphic arts at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles and is the founder of the school’s Imaging Sciences & Technology Academy (ISTA), which, in 2004, was designated as the “Model Academy Program” by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Since 2005, 90 percent of ISTA graduates have advanced to colleges, where they are studying graphic communications. Santos also co-founded “Viva Technology,” a national program to motivate minority students to consider science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers.
