Quark Expands Educational Licenses

PRESS RELEASE:

DENVER–(Quark.com)–07–17-2007 Quark Inc. today announced uni­ver­sal avail­abil­i­ty of a pro­gram that enables stu­dents to use their QuarkXPress edu­ca­tion licens­es to pro­duce cre­ative mate­ri­als for the mar­ket­place while still in school.

Students can also con­tin­ue using their edu­ca­tion licens­es for the cur­rent ver­sion of QuarkXPress after grad­u­a­tion for com­mer­cial design and pro­duc­tion. Quark has also extend­ed this pol­i­cy to edu­ca­tion licens­es for Quark Interactive Designer and Quark Print Collection.

“The International Academy of Design & Technology, Chicago has been teach­ing our stu­dents Quark soft­ware skills for well over 10 years,” said Katie Haviland, Viscom adjunct instruc­tor at IADT Chicago. “We applaud Quark for its renewed com­mit­ment to edu­ca­tion and for imple­ment­ing this pro­gram because it will give our stu­dents an edge as they grad­u­ate and enter the com­pet­i­tive design market.”

Quark now also enables stu­dents to upgrade to the lat­est ver­sion of QuarkXPress after grad­u­a­tion at the com­mer­cial upgrade price – elim­i­nat­ing the need for pur­chas­ing a full copy of QuarkXPress. In addi­tion, stu­dents are able to use their Education licens­es for QuarkXPress on either Mac or Windows.

Quark has recent­ly intro­duced a vari­ety of addi­tion­al pro­grams in com­mu­ni­ties around the globe to sup­port the edu­ca­tion of young design­ers, includ­ing new pric­ing for stu­dents and edu­ca­tors, train­ing, wider avail­abil­i­ty of stu­dent licens­es through resellers such as Amazon and Apple Online, and cur­ricu­lum development.

“Quark is com­mit­ted to advanc­ing the edu­ca­tion of the world’s future designers,” said Terry Welty, senior vice pres­i­dent, cor­po­rate mar­ket­ing, Quark. “By pro­vid­ing grad­u­ates with access to the lat­est inno­va­tions of QuarkXPress, Quark Interactive Designer and Quark Print Collection, we give young design­ers an advan­tage as they enter the mar­ket­place and fur­ther their cre­ative careers.”
