The goal of Ryerson University’s School of Graphic Communications Management (GCM) and its four-year program is to graduate individuals who will become effective and skilled professionals in the printing and graphic communications industries – with a solid foundation of education and technical training to enable them to develop as professional managers. Several hundred students, their families and teachers, GCM sponsors, and leaders from the Canadian printing industry, attended GCM’s Annual Awards Night gala held Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at the George Vari Engineering Building in downtown Toronto.
