Several days before graduation, Faye Maison, a Yale senior awaiting her B.A. in Political Science, mused about the end of her educational journey at Yale: “It’s hard to imagine how I’ll feel on Monday. I think I’ll be glad to just hold my diploma and know that I’ve finished.”
The process by which a Yale diploma ends up in the hands of Yale seniors like Maison is the provenance of the Secretary’s Office, which keeps the official diploma records of the University and produces the diplomas with the assistance of Yale’s registrars and Yale Printing and Publishing Services (YPPS). The diplomas are signed by the President and Secretary of the University and embossed with the University seal.
Last month YPPS received Chain-of-Custody certification from the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC®), which is a non-profit organization established to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. The certification came through the Rainforest Alliance™, which is accredited by the FSC and is today the world’s leading nonprofit FSC certifier
The FSC Chain-of-Custody certification traces the path of products from forests through the supply chain, verifying that FSC-certified material is identified and kept separate from non-certified material.
While YPPS has offered and used FSC certified stocks for the past 6 years, they can now tout their support of FSC’s mission of responsible forest management with the FSC logo on finished print pieces. With an FSC brand, a printed piece has been monitored from the forest to the mills and from the printing press to the mailbox.
