    With over 21,000 employees working at over forty worldwide facilities, Quad
    (NYSE: QUAD) requires a continual stream of top-level talent. To help attract the best and the
    brightest, they have adopted a corporate training program, in which qualified individuals cycle
    among various jobs and locations before selecting where they wish to permanently work. This
    arrangement perfectly suited School of Media Sciences (SMS) alumna Kathy Bedard; the 2013
    graduate entered the Quad corporate training program shortly after finishing her bachelor of
    science degree in Media Arts and Technology, and has settled in at the Woburn, MA
    Commercial and Specialty Plant as a Customer Account Manager.

    QUOTE
    Kathy appreciates that SMS graduates do not all vie for the same jobs, and that they can
    tailor their resumes to a wide variety of career opportunities and personal interests.
