The annual Susquehanna Litho Club Student Night took place on Feb. 27 at the Lancaster County Career and Technology (LCCTC) Brownstown campus. The Litho Club's Student Night is one of the organization's marquee events, this year drawing more than 150 students and business representatives from counties in the southcentral Pennsylvania region and into Maryland. Attendees included students from Columbia County.
With the flare of a flash strobe and the whirr of a camera shutter, Isabel Vreeland's head-and-shoulders photograph was taken and sent to a waiting LCCTC visual communications student. For the next several minutes, Adrianna Wright, an LCCTC visual arts student from Garden Spot, processed, filtered, recomposed, and otherwise tweaked into a colorful, Pop Art comic version of Vreeland's portrait. Vreeland's portrait and several other visual communications activity centers were featured during the event.
LCCTC visual communications programs presented various activities, including screen printing and laser etching, Photoshop work, html website coding and website creation, photo portraiture, and more.
This year's event included a tour of the Standard Group, a print management and marketing logistics company in Lititz; dinner; and a panel discussion featuring current visual communications students and former students who were now working in the industry, sharing their professional pathways and advice for career success.
She added that the Susquehanna Litho Club has ties to LCCTC. Two members of its board of directors are instructors at the center, including Randy Hess, Introduction to Visual Communications, and Dan McCauley, Digital Design and Print Media, both at the Brownstown campus.
Another Susquehanna Litho Club board member, Mike Brady, explained that Litho Club events and the Student Night in particular is a look forward into the future of visual communications and an effort to invest in the next generation of printers, binders, digital designers, photographers, and anyone in visual communications.
The Susquehanna Litho Club is a social and philanthropic organization, established in 1959, that works to create awareness of the printing and visual communications industry in the region. The club organizes several business-sponsored events throughout the year that range from fundraisers at local sports franchises to industry tours, networking sessions, and student nights. During the student night events, students from schools and career and technology centers from around the area are sponsored by participating businesses.
