stitute of Technology (RIT) for “Protection, Prevention & Awareness for Pets,” a cohesive system that blended con- sumer education with structural ingenuity. California Poly- technic State University captured both second and third place with PAWSH and Teef Story, demonstrating Cal Po- ly’s continued dominance in paperboard innovation and its reputation for design excellence. Economic Outlook With Jeff Rosensweig Jeff Rosensweig, Director of the John Robson Program for Business, Public Policy, and Government at Emory Uni- versity, returned to the stage with his unmistakable blend of insight, wit, and global perspective, offering a clear- eyed look at the forces reshaping the economic horizon. His analysis painted a picture of an economy in transition: dynamic, uncertain, and defined by pressures that de- mand strategic foresight from business leaders. At the center of his presentation was the scale and speed of transformation. Artificial intelligence, he noted, is no longer an emerging disruptor; it’s a gravitational force. By comparing the market capitalization of AI-driven com- panies to the GDP of entire countries, Rosensweig under- scored how profoundly technology has reordered global value creation. The Woods Scholar Award The 2025 Woods Scholar Award, given to Chris Cox of Malnove carried special significance as PPC formally renamed the honor to recognize both J. Edward Woods and his recently passed son, Doug Woods, of Dixie Pulp & Paper, two leaders whose commitment to education and industry development shaped PPC for decades.
