Eureka College Onboards Fleet of Epson WorkForce Enterprise and WorkForce Pro Business MFPs as Part of its Sustainability Initiative

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Epson today announced Eureka College has chosen Epson business printing solutions to replace its fleet of laser printers deployed across campus. Following its extensive search for a print fleet with specific environmental benefits, Eureka College determined Epson’s printers met and exceeded its criteria.

Eureka College Chooses Epson Business Print Solutions To Support Sustainability Initiatives

Eureka College, a leading Illinois liberal arts institution, is driven by its mission to be a regional model for institutional sustainability, and its core values revolve around increasing equity and sustainability on campus. Epson was chosen for its proven environmental value proposition and impact.

“As part of the curriculum, students in our Environmental Science and Business programs were tasked with evaluating the environmental benefits of the prospective printer solutions. The goal was to determine whether the claims were just marketing promises or if the products truly aligned with our sustainability goals,” said Dr. Ann Fulop, provost and VP of Academic Affairs at Eureka College. “The students analyzed brand and product messaging, qualified environmental claims – including electricity savings estimates – and compiled accounting projections based on potential environmental impacts and savings considering the school’s printing habits and requirements.”

Eureka College has deployed a fleet of WorkForce® Enterprise AM-C5000 Color MFPs and WorkForce Pro WF-C579R Workgroup Color MFPs with Replaceable Ink Pack Systems. The AM-C5000 has the lowest power consumption in its class, up to 55% lower than color laser printers.1 The WF-C579R uses a Replaceable Ink Pack System with extra high-capacity packs that can deliver enough ink to print up to 50,000 ISO pages black/20,000 ISO pages color before changing the packs.2

“Epson stood out because of the environmental benefits associated with its PrecisionCore® Heat-Free technology and design simplicity, meaning limited maintenance parts, and low waste and energy usage,” said Dr. Fulop. “I was surprised to see that I could get all the sustainability benefits without an increase to my budget.”

“We are proud to exceed Dr. Fulop and the Eureka College team’s expectations. The PrecisionCore technology not only aligns with the college’s sustainability goals and helps reduce plastic toner waste but also provides user-friendly technology, engineered for reliability to the students, faculty and administration at a very low operational cost,” said Kirk Taylor, VP of Sales, City Blue Technologies, an Epson BusinessFirstSM partner.

According to an article by Keypoint Intelligence, an increasing number of businesses are evaluating brands’ sustainability initiatives – how the brand, its solutions and services impact the planet – as part of their purchasing process. Businesses today are searching for printing solutions that ensure reduced machine downtime, less waste and low energy consumption for savings on energy bills.

“More and more organizations are looking to reduce the amount of waste they generate. They realize that laser printers consume many bulky maintenance parts that could end up in landfills,” said Elliot Williams, director of product marketing, Business Imaging, Epson America, Inc.  “Epson is committed to helping organizations like Eureka College reduce their environmental footprint and double down on the future of printing, supporting their organizational and sustainability initiatives.”

Epson printing solutions are engineered with PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, a simple, smart and clean solution that delivers outstanding quality with low waste, to help businesses meet their sustainability goals without compromising reliability, cost or productivity.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

To learn more about HumanView, visit leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
