PMMI, Garvey Corporation Award Scholarship To Rutgers University The PMMI Foundation, in collaboration with the Garvey Corporation, announced the selection of Rutgers Univer- sity as the recipient of this year’s $5,000 Mark C. Garvey Scholarship. PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, demonstrates its commitment to supporting packaging education at U.S. colleges, universi- ties, and technical schools through the PMMI Foundation. “The Garvey family is pleased to award the 2023 Mark C. Garvey Scholarship. I had the privilege to meet with the Rutgers University Packaging Engineering faculty, tour their facility, and meet some of the students. We would like to congratulate Rutgers for being selected as the re- cipient,” says Jake Garvey, director of OEM sales, Garvey
Corporation. The Mark C. Garvey scholarship was established by PMMI in memory of Mark Garvey, former president and CEO of the Garvey Corporation, past chairman of PMMI, and a long-standing advocate of packaging education. Each fall, the Garvey family selects one PMMI Education Partner to receive this scholarship, based on its commit- ment to excellence in the packaging industry. The chosen school then identifies a student for the award, considering factors such as GPA, major, dedication to the packaging industry, extracurricular involvement, and financial need. “Sponsors like Garvey Corporation and PMMI play a pivotal role in enabling the Rutgers Packaging Engineer- ing Program to provide high-quality education and op- portunities for aspiring packaging engineers,” says Magy Gergus, Senior Program Coordinator, Packaging Engineer- ing Program, Rutgers University. “This scholarship will em-
power a talented and motivated student to pursue their academic and professional aspirations with reduced burden of finan- cial stress. We will be working to identify a deserving student who fulfills the criteria set forth for this scholarship.” AF&PA Release Quarterly Containerboard Report The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) released its Q3 2023 Container- board Quarterly report.
