Reception for Open Celebrates Publication's Success

Members of the University community turned out to celebrate the success of student publication Open: A Writing and Design Collaboration at a reception on Thursday, Oct. 6 in the Paul J. Gutman Library.


A collaborative project composed of writings and designs from freshmen students in Philadelphia University’s First Year Experience program, Open was awarded the University and College Design Association’s 2005 Award of Excellence in August.

Recent Graphic Design Communication graduates Ryan Becker and Tess Orgasan designed and produced the project during their Advanced Publication Design course this past spring. For the more than 20 writing and design students behind the publication, this achievement marked their second win in two years.

Sponsored by the Paul J. Gutman

Library, the Office of Academic Affairs and the School of Liberal Arts, the reception honored those who contributed to the project’s win, including the many supportive faculty and staff from across the University.
