Packaging Alumni Association Awards – Due Feb 19th

Posted: February 1st, 2016 by Michigan State Alumni Association

Attention all MSU Alumni and Friends of Alumni:

We really need your help! Each year, the School of Packaging’s Alumni Association (PAA) presents four awards to deserving individuals for their service and career accomplishments within the following categories of Packaging. To start the season off right, we need your help in nominating and promoting the recognition of deserving individuals next April at the Awards Banquet.

If you could all take time to think of a colleague or friend that would fit the criteria of one of these awards and interview them for information on their career accomplishments, volunteering at MSU/SOP activities, community outreach, and awards received and then fill out a nomination on their behalf for the PAA, we’d greatly appreciate it OR if you have an individual in mind, please let us know and we’d be happy to help with the discussion to obtain the necessary information for the nomination.

Many of you have received one of these awards in the past and we’d appreciate if you could pay the recognition forward by nominating someone.

• Hall of Fame Award

• Service Award

• Innovation Award

• Young Alumni Award (less than 10 years from graduation)

The winner for each category will be recognized at the 6th Annual Packaging Awards Banquet in April 2016 at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing where it is co-hosted by the School of Packaging and the Packaging Alumni Association. Nominations are due February 19, 2016 and winners will be announced in early spring in preparation for the Awards Banquet.

Nomination forms can be found on the new website:

Please note that the 2016 winner’s nominations for the PAA Awards will be submitted upwards into the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Alumni Awards program the following year. Let’s help recognize and promote our own packaging colleagues within these award programs!!

Please submit your nomination to Tracy Nameth (tracy.nameth@gmail.com) or Cimberly Weir (cimberly@anr.msu.edu) by February 19th!

Let’s get the word out to the MSU packaging community and acknowledge these worthy individuals!

Thank you for your consideration,

Packaging Alumni Association Awards Team
