HP and Dscoop have announced the creation of the Rod Key Memorial Scholarship to commemorate the significant contributions Key made during his career in the printing industry. Rod passed away suddenly on January 20, 2014, and is survived by his wife, Patty, and his son, Austin. This new scholarship has been created in Key's memory and will be administered by EDSF.
Jan Riecher, vice president and general manager, Americas Graphics Solutions Business, HP, says: “In addition to what Rod brought to the industry in his various leadership positions and his contributions as an advisory board member at Dscoop, he was also passionate about education. Rod was an advisor for Arizona State University’s (ASU) graphic information technology program, which offers students a ‘creative, technological and managerial understanding of graphic communication technology in areas such as web, print, photography and multimedia.’ As such, we felt that a scholarship in his name at ASU was the most meaningful way to remember him.”
Brenda Kai, EDSF executive director adds, “We are proud to administer this scholarship in honor of one of the industry’s talented leaders. Rod’s legacy will truly live on in the next generation through this scholarship.” The Rod Key Memorial Scholarship will be awarded in July 2014 to an outstanding full-time ASU student committed to pursuing a career in the document management and graphic communications marketplace.
