About Us

---

Since 2006, Rick Loper, CEO and Founder of College Publications, Inc.,  had one simple mission: to give back. College Publications Inc.'s first partner school was University of Southern Mississippi, and Mr. Loper, along with a crew  of one additional colleague, was able to take the responsibility of funding the essentially defunded Southerner  yearbook with advertisement sales from businesses around the Hattiesburg, MS. area. Today, College Publications has grown ten-fold, and has served over 20 colleges in the United States with a small, but competent staff located in the city of Norcross, in the Northeast metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia.  

Quality over quantity indeed describes our team, but we strive for both when acquiring sponsors for our partner schools' yearbook or career guide. The first interaction with a yearbook adviser or career adviser begins with learning about the publication's needs and the community's background. Our team researches the surrounding areas and businesses, and returns back with a quote of how many pages we can fill with ads of various sizes. We guarantee each publication a minimum page count (and per page guaranteed funding), but we consistently have succeeded this count for a majority of our schools over the years. 

Our sponsors generally supply camera-ready full, half, quarter or eighth page ad displays, but we have a professional graphics department that can design our sponsors' ad free of charge. You can be assured that each page of ad space is well-curated and clean, in accordance with the rest of your yearbook or career guide. 

Some of our clients believe that our service is just too good to be true - "a no-risk fundraiser that takes care of itself, and on time to publish?" But it's true! Time and time again, we have made our partner schools satisfied and proud to have worked with us.
