New Imaging Technology Emphasis
Unveiled at Spring Krueger Forum
The Krueger Forum, an advisory
committee for the W.A. Krueger
School of Graphic Communications,
met recently on the Chowan campus.
The board consists of printing tech
nology alumni, commercial printers,
suppliers, educators and members of
industry trade associations from North
Carolina and Virginia.
The forum complements the
Chowan College Graphic Arts Foun
dation, established in 1%8, which
consists of leaders in the newspaper
industry from across the state.
With the appointment of Tom
Brennan as department chairman and
Dean Gilbert resuming full-time
teaching status, there were many new
developments to report
The printing technology program
has a new name, printing production
and imaging technology, to reflect the
new emphasis on imaging and to re
flect our goal to be the leader in the
training of electronic prepress.
With the support of the Krueger
Forum and the commercial printing
industry, the Krueger School will host
two summer camps for rising high
school seniors this summer.
New officers were selected for
the upcoming year. Nick LeVay was
selected chairman and Tom O’Brien
was selected vice chairman.
Frank Edwards (’58), chairman,
and Barrie Davis, vice chairman,
stepped down. During the past year,
their strong support was a key to
getting the board started.
The forum heard reports from
Mr. Brennan, Peter Squire, director
of development for printing produc
tion and imaging technology, and
students. Mr. Brennan presented a
strategic plan outlining the revised
curriculum, mission statement, fac
ulty revitalization and 5 year capital
plan. Mr. Squire reported on the
Capital Campaign which has raised
340,000 in cash and pledges to date.
The Summer Camp Campaign has
raised the money for the first camp
and is working on the second camp.
An upcoming project will be the
planning for a 40th Anniversary Cel
ebration. All alumni of the program
wiU be invited to the Homecoming
Weekend starting October 15th.
Chowan will be contacting printing
technology alumni in the near future.

Phonathon *93 - Alumni Loyalty Fund
On March 21, student
callers began contacting
some Chowan alumni to
solicit their support for the
1992-93 Alumni Loyalty
Fund. For seven nights,
callers worked to raise
money toward the $50,000
goal of the fund. Thismini-
phonathon has a goal of
$5,000.
Callers contacted over
2000 alumni and received
pledges from 123 for
$4,052. Many of these
were first-time givers.
“It's exciting to see new
support from the alumni
body,” said Kevin Clary,
director of alumni. "These
new donors represent re
cent graduates as well as
those who graduated over
fifty years ago.”
The alumni phonathon
will continue for two addi
tional nights in April as it
goes on the road. Thanks
to Chowan alumnus,
Charles Pond (’62), of
Suffolk, Va. We will be
using his office to conduct
calls to our Hampton
Roads alumni.
Clary expects the callers
toexcel theS5,000 goal set
for the mini-phonathon.

If you are age 75 or above (rates are lower for
individuals under age 75), you have the oppor
tunity to earn the following guaranteed rates on
a one-life charitable gift annuity (you may
choose to have a two-life gift annuity, but the
rates would be lower).
The rates guaranteed by Chowan College
(working with the Southern BaptistFoundation
and the N. C. Baptist Foundation) on a one-life
charitable gift annuity are shown in the above
chart
Gift annuities can be funded with securities,
certificates of deposit, cash or property. A
charitable gift annuity will give you: 1) a
guaranteed income, 2) a charitable income tax
deduction, 3) a portion of the income from the
annuity will be tax free, 4) estate tax saving and
5) in most cases, an increase in income.
At the time you establish the annuity, you can
designate how the principal is to be spent at
your death. What an excellent way to increase
your income and at the same time help others.
If you would like more information about the
charitable gift annuity, please call or write the
vice president for development: Vint Tilson,
Chowan College, Box 1848, Murfreesboro,
