<p>SPEARFISH | Canon is continuing its commitment to providing Black Hills State University students with top-notch photography and digital imaging equipment with its recent donation of $16,000 in professional desktop photo printers.</p><p>A few years ago, BHSU received more than $30,000 worth of high-end photography equipment from the international imaging company.</p><p>Steve Babbitt, professor of photography at BHSU, said that Canon marketing representative Mary Mannix was at the University this spring for the presentation by Canon Explorer of Light David Hume Kennerly. While an April snowstorm cancelled the talk, Mannix stayed and toured the University noticing the photography program lacked Canon printers.</p><p>Not long after Mannix's visit, Babbitt received a call from another person from Canon asking how many printers Babbitt wanted. Soon, Babbitt had 16 brand new desktop photo printers sitting in his office. One printer will be used in the Jonas Mac Lab and two will be given to the Art Department for its Mac Lab, the remaining printers will stay with the photography program, Babbitt said.</p><p><a href="http://rapidcityjournal.com/canon-donates-printers-to-bhsu-photography-department/article_12bacdad-6c87-5f09-bee3-e031c61b6b8a.html">Keep reading...</a></p>
