Georgia-Pacific Donates $10K To Auburn University TAPPI Chapter Atlanta, Georgia based Georgia-Pacific, a large manufac- turing company that specializes in making products rang- ing from paper to building products, donated $10,000 to the Auburn chapter of Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI). As the students prepare for next year’s national summit in Birmingham, Alabama, the donation will support the Auburn students in TAPPI. Tanner Stogner, sophomore in chemical engineering and president of TAPPI, shared the significance of collabo- rating with manufactures in the industry. “We are incredibly grateful for Georgia-Pacific’s gen- erous $10,000 investment in the Auburn TAPPI student chapter and future of the pulp and paper industry. The partnership between our student organization and one of the leading companies in our industry inspires our mem- bers to dream bigger and do more,” Stogner said. “Georgia-Pacific’s support will cover travel, lodging, and registration costs for the largest group of Auburn pulp and paper students to ever attend the TAPPI Student Sum- mit in our own backyard: Birmingham, Alabama.” “This opportunity will empower our members to net- work with industry professionals and showcase the ex- cellence of Auburn’s pulp and paper program. We’re also proud that this year’s summit is being chaired by our Vice President, Michael Reuss, under the guidance of our advi- sor, Naomi Gehling,” Stogner said. “Through this donation, Georgia-Pacific is making sure that these students have the means and connections to succeed as they navigate our industry. In the fast-paced and ever-advancing world that we live in, being able to support a group of students who are focused, excited and well-versed in our industry is a great way in which Geor- gia-Pacific and our employees can support the next gener- ation of pulp and paper professionals,” said Tyler Hart, Vice President of Engineering for Georgia-Pacific and president of the Auburn Pulp and Paper Foundation (APPF). Georgia-Pacific also donates to events hosted by the APPF, which was founded to provide engineering educa- tion for pulp and paper mills in southeastern states. Work- ing to meet the needs of both pulp and paper profession- als and engineering students, APPF strives to connect students to a co-op or internship experience and, eventu- ally, a full-time employment position after graduation.
