Canon Solutions America Supports TRIPOD Program at Writers Room with Printing of 10th Anthology edition
14 June 2024 - 1:16AM
Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon
U.S.A., Inc., sponsored the printing of the 10th Anthology edition
from Writers Room (Drexel University’s university-community
literary arts program). Featured in Anthology are works from
TRIPOD, an intergenerational storytelling program supported by
Canon Solutions America, where students from Drexel, Paul Robeson
High School, and YouthBuild Philadelphia collaborate with older
community residents, using writing and photography to document
their experiences of life in Philadelphia, PA.Drexel, located in
Philadelphia, held a release party for Anthology on June 11. The
event celebrated the latest iteration of the Anthology series,
which was once again printed by Copy General on the Canon
varioPRINT iX3200. This marked the seventh year that Canon
equipment was used to print Anthology.
Copy General, in business since the 1970s, operates high-tech
digital printing facilities with the ability to deliver to all 50
states. It was amongst the first companies to eschew printing
presses and adopt a totally digital approach and sources its paper
stock from renewable paper farms located within the United
States.
“Canon Solutions America is proud to once again be part of this
great program and congratulate the Writers Room on reaching a major
milestone with the 10th Anthology,” said Peter P. Kowalczuk,
president, Canon Solutions America. “TRIPOD at Writers Room remains
an important outlet for students from grade school to higher
education to hone their skills as storytellers and to be supported
in their efforts to learn and express their knowledge of their
city’s vibrant history and culture. We look forward to continuing
to work with Drexel for future exhibitions as well.”
The TRIPOD program at Writers Room began in 2017 when
representatives from Canon Solutions America and Drexel University
met to discuss opportunities to work together with the West
Philadelphia community, as well as with Drexel students. Born from
that meeting was the idea of combining and enhancing existing
initiatives, such as Canon Solutions America’s Future Authors
Project and Drexel’s Writers Room, as well as engaging with local
high schools.
"Canon was one of Writers Room's early supporters—they saw how
all of our storytellers, whether they are 18 or 81, enter the
program as both student and teacher—valued for the unique
contributions they bring,” said Rachel Wenrick, Founding Director
of Writers Room and Executive Director for Arts & Civic
Innovation in Drexel’s Office of University & Community
Partnerships.
