Alwan Color Expertise’s support for graphic arts education and training expands with today’s announcement that the company is donating Alwan ColorCloud access to students at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Alwan ColorCloud tools include ISO/G7 Calibration, ISO/G7 Conformance Assessment, ICC Profile Viewer, and Alwan Pinnacle Award winning Hydra Profiling. Alwan founder and president Elie Khoury also announced that the company’s growing donation program will add one year of free ColorCloud access to graduates of all schools utilizing ColorCloud donation access, beginning with the Class of 2024. 

Professor Natalia Lumby, Chair of the School of Graphic Communications Management in The Creative School at TMU, describes Alwan ColorCloud tools as being “essential for graphic industry students today”. Lumby notes that it is very useful that ColorCloud is hosted in the cloud, which greatly reduces local costs as well as hardware and software support. Furthermore, students learn and use, she says, “the most current technologies being used by professionals in the industry today." Dr Abhay Sharma, who teaches color management at TMU, says "We thank Elie and Alwan for this generous donation. I’ve personally used Alwan solutions since their inception, and now ColorCloud applications will be deeply integrated in our color management curriculum. “Many of the digital and industrial design and production program students can benefit from learning the fundamentals of color science with Alwan’s solutions,” Sharma says.
