For those who don’t know, I would like to introduce the UC Printing Initiative. A good majority of students spend large amounts of money printing huge pdf files for their classes. The UC Printing Initiative was created to:

1) increase quotas so that students can print more coursework materials for cheaper costs; and/or
2) integrate the various printing systems on campus so printing is more convenient for students

I have talked to administrative reps from Housing & Dining, USITE, NSIT, and the Libraries, all of whom have been very open to possibly unifying printing systems. I am also scheduled to have a meeting with Bill Michels next week to discuss the next steps for this project.

This is also a topic of conversation for the graduate divisions who have even more printing to do than the undergraduates. Hopefully, we can express our printing concerns and ideas to the Administration from both the undergraduate and graduate councils.

If you have any comments/thoughts/helpful ideas, post them here or email me at jaykim@uchicago.edu.

Thanks for the support!
