2019 Welcome from the President

Michigan State Alumni Association — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 14:32:57 +0000

New Year greetings from the MSUPAA President

I am honored to be elected the MSUPAA President for 2019. After a long career in packaging, it’s time for me to give back to the school I love, strengthen friendships with other MSU alums, and hopefully be a small part in helping the next generation of packaging professionals and leaders.

I want to thank Karen Keeder for her great leadership over the past 2+ years. Following Karen will not be an easy task. She led our board through leadership and curriculum changes as well as provided the foundation to create our updated MSUPAA mission statement and motto.

With the generous financial support from corporate and individual sponsors, in 2018 we were able to distribute over $75,000 between student scholarships, the Student Packaging Jamboree hosted by MSU, the School of Packaging building renovation fund, and Packaging student groups. While financial support is great, it’s not always about money. The PAA helps support and provide advice to packaging student groups, MSU faculty and staff. As an example, we annually host resume reviews and mock interviews before career fairs and organize the annual packaging awards banquet. If you would like to support our industry and future leaders, please reach out to us at www.msupaa.org.

Key events in 2019 include the annual Packaging awards banquet on April 11^th, our Pack Expo reception in Las Vegas on September 23^rd, and the tailgate prior to the Homecoming football game on September 28^th in front of the School of Packaging building. Both are a great way to meet up with old Spartan friends and make new ones.

On behalf of the MSU Packaging Alumni Association, we wish for you a great 2019!

Go Green!

Tom Osip

MSU SoP Hosted Packaging Jamboree a Huge Success!

Michigan State Alumni Association — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 13:37:12 +0000

In early April, the MSU School of Packaging hosted a very successful 2018 rendition of the Packaging Jamboree. Over 250 attendees participated in the event that focused the future of the packaging industry. This year’s event brought together students and professionals with diverse backgrounds to engage on the topic of packaging. The Packaging Jamboree, held annually, is led and organized by students providing a unique and fresh atmosphere for current and future packaging professionals to discuss all things packaging. The student organizing committee (Austin Liu, Hanna Holmi, Hannah Schultz, Brittany Hatfield, and Audrey Flood) received positive feedback for their efforts in making this year’s event one of the best to date. Thank you to all of the students for making this event such an overwhelming success!

Virginia Tech will be hosting the 2019 Packaging Jamboree. Please connect with Amanda Augugliaro (amanda31@vt.edu) if you are interested in being involved in the next event.
