June 13, 2011

The first students to graduate from the first college-level digital signage program in the world are participating at the InfoComm 2011 Digital Signage Showcase produced by Multi-Media Solutions with assistance from Lyle Bunn of BUNN Co., according to an announcement from Bunn and InfoComm.

Graduates of the Texas State Technical College Digital Signage Program including Mike Snow, Chad Ramsberger and Joseph M. Mxavi, along with program designer and trainer Patricia Golvin will contribute their knowledge to Infocomm delegates visiting the Showcase demonstration area and theater.

Mike White, CEO of Tennessee-based audio/visual integrator and digital signage provider Multi-Media Solutions, said "it is an honor to celebrate an important milestone in the growth of the digital signage industry in these first-ever graduates, and to accelerate their entry into the exciting, high-growth digital signage industry."

White, who served on the International Board of Directors of Infocomm International for two terms, continued, "While digital signage training provided by Infocomm and at other industry events, and Digital Signage Expert Group is important to the growing base of professionals planning, providing and operating displays, academic programs can provide a base of knowledge that can help to move the industry forward. Texas State Technical College and its charter graduating students are to be applauded!"

Bunn, a well-known advisor and educator in North America's dynamic signage industry, will interview the students, Golvin and leading industry figures in the Showcase Theater. The interviews and other presentations will be available on the Infocomm website.
