Students to Receive ICPF Travel Grants to Attend Student/Executive Dialogue Dinner

ALEXANDRIA.VA....Twenty-five top students from ICPF's partner universities around the country will join visiting corrugated packaging executives in East Lansing, Michigan on February 20 for ICPF's annual student / executive dialogue dinner on corrugated packaging careers.  Ten or more of the students, who earlier have indicated an interest in a corrugated packaging career upon graduation, will receive ICPF travel grants to participate along with up to 15 Michigan State packaging students.  The next day, the visiting students also will join 100 or more MSU packaging students in the PBS broadcast auditorium to view ICPF's Teleconference on the Business of Corrugated Packaging & Displays and the Career Opportunities.  The Teleconference will interactively connect an additional 400 students on 19  campuses across the nation. 

Many of the students who have participated in the annual dinner and teleconference in past years are currently working in the corrugated packaging industry.  Packaging executives and managers who are interested in participating in this year's dialogue dinner should contact info@icpfbox.org for details.
