WU+D and the Clemson Packaging Science Student Club have officially partnered to re-activate a Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) Student Chapter at Clemson University strengthening pathways between students, industry, and the future forest-based workforce.
Clemson Univ. Packaging Science instructor and club advisor Lisi Campbell, along with student leaders from the Packaging Science Student Club -Hannah Dickson, Ava Beasley, Hailey Wiethoff, and Cynthia Vangelas, recently represented Clemson at the TAPPI Student Summit in Birmingham, connecting with peers and industry professionals from across the country.

We are looking to support this initiative and eager to contribute to the next generation of workforce for the pulp, paper and sustainable packaging industry. Clemson TAPPI Student Chapter will be open to all Clemson students. More information on how to engage with this group coming soon!
