of excellence in our field. I can’t think of a better way to recognize their contributions
than by conferring this award.”
ACUP began in 1964 when several Atlantic Coast Colleges and Universities from Maine
to Virginia agreed that the formation of an association dedicated to the special
circumstances and needs of collegiate printing facility managers would be highly
beneficial. It was established to promote communication, training and educational
opportunities within the Higher Education in-plant printing and mailing industry. In 2010 it
acquired a non-profit organization status to continue to offer members these same
benefits.
