Dawg Prints Has Now Gone Green


Labs and libraries that use the Dawg Prints system have begun to roll out changes in order to make Dawg Prints more green. In addition to using 100% recycled paper in our printers and copiers, labs have also begun to change their default queues to print 2-sided, saving paper. These changes will occur throughout the quarter so keep an eye out for default 2-sided printing in your favorite lab.

Al-Dhaher was born in Nasriyah, Iraq. At the age of fifteen he was accepted to the Institute of Fine Arts in Basra, Iraq, where he lived and received his training in classical art, graduating first in his class in 1989. Al-Dhaher fled Iraq in 1991 due to his involvement in a failed uprising against the regime of Saddam Hussein at the end of the first Gulf war.
