Students in the Graphic Communications program at the C.S. Monroe Technology Center in Leesburg, Virginia, had the chance to visit the SGIA headquarters in nearby Fairfax for a day of hands-on training. The 11th and 12th graders follow a curriculum focused on graphics software, print layout, and graphics theory, but their hands-on experience is limited.

Led by Johnny Shell, SGIA VP of technical services, education sessions included tips on squeegee basics to proper foil techniques. Each student took home a T-shirt they made themselves.
