Today I toured Stuttgart Media University. In addition to Library Science they have two other concentrations - one is in printing media and the other is in electronic media. It was neat to see a college with rooms full of big Heidelberg printing presses, a TV studio, and a radio station. The German students were very professional and their education at this University is very hands on. They have to produce and market products on a daily basis. Germany is still the world center for printing. Although printing is on the decline in some areas, such as newspapers, there is a growing demand for packaging printing. One of the assignments was to create an attention-getting package. Thus the "Sexy Peanuts" label and package. We were escorted through the campus by the president!
