TAGA Holds Technical Conference; Elects New Board

Throughout the conference, award-winning student publications were on display courtesy of TAGA’s 2009 Student Competitions. Seven schools, including California Polytechnic State University, Clemson University, Grenoble Institute of Technology, Rochester Institute of Technology, Ryerson University, University of Wisconsin-Stout, and Western Michigan University submitted entries in for the Helmut Kipphan Student Publication Award competition. In a very close contest, the 2009 winner was Rochester Institute of Technology. The Harvey Levinson Undergraduate Student Paper Award went to Saleh Abdel Motaal (et al) of Ryerson University for the paper entitled “Repeatability of Ink Transfer and Color Management in Lithography”, and the Dusty Rhodes Graduate Student Paper Award went to John Jay Jacobs (et al) of Clemson University for the paper, “Electroluminescent Circuit Printing.”
