Citrus College Reprographics Services: Enhancing Campus Communication and Efficiency
Citrus College Reprographics Services plays a vital role in supporting the college's mission by providing high-quality printed materials to the academic, administrative, affiliated departments, students, and staff across campus. Located between the CI and MA buildings, the Reprographics department is dedicated to enhancing and promoting the college through its services. In addition to full-service print production, walk-in service is available at The Print Shop to support students and staff with their individual printing needs.
A Legacy of Progress and Innovation
The story of Citrus College Reprographics is intertwined with the dedication and vision of individuals like Thomas "Rocky" Reynolds. Reynolds' tenure at Reprographics is marked by a commitment to modernization and efficiency. When he began working there, the center relied on labor-intensive printing presses and outdated technology that struggled to meet the school's demands. Recognizing this, Reynolds championed the adoption of upgraded digital printers and copy machines. This strategic move has proven to be beneficial to both the campus community and his dedicated staff.
With the new technology, Reprographics can now provide a wide-range of printing services efficiently and under tight deadlines, saving both cost and labor-with the added bonus that he and his staff no longer needed to over-exert themselves to fulfill requests. “Having us on campus, we provide an extremely well-oiled system. We’re fast, we’re cost effective, and we can supply customer service that you wouldn’t get from outside services … and we can supply things for people when they really need it,” said Reynolds. Bill Fellows, a technician for Reprographics Services, said this was a significant step forward.
The Human Touch Behind the Machines
Beyond the technological advancements, the success of Reprographics is also attributed to the dedicated staff and the leadership style that fosters a sense of community. Gina Matta, a technician at the Reprographics Services center, notes that Reynolds, “(as) professional as he is, he still gives a sense of humanity. He is very humble and kind… I enjoy working here because of him." Claudette Dain, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services recalls her own experiences with Reynolds, “On a professional level, Rocky is a perfectionist. He is very concerned about getting the job done and getting it done right. On a personal level, Rocky is very jovial.He has the kind of presence that when you see him, he just makes you smile. “In Rocky, I have met a life-long friend. It is clear that to many in the campus community, “Rocky” Reynolds is deeply admired and beloved. In his years of service to Citrus, he has held fast to one principle, which he leaves to the community as a departing gift, “Treat everyone like family.
Reynolds attributes much of his own success here at Citrus College to this very fortune. “I’ve met a lot of wonderful people over the years. He further extends his gratitude to his staff for the continued success of the center, “My staff has been very wonderful. Without them, Reprographics wouldn’t be what it is today. There’s days when I’m coming in just to see these guys.
