2022 TAPPI-PIMA Student Summit To Feature Unique Career Fair The 2022 TAPPI-PIMA Student Summit, January 14-17, in Cincinnati, Ohio, is accepting sponsorships and interview booth reservations from companies that are seeking to conduct face-to-face interviews with potential interns and co-op candidates during a 3-day, in-person event. The TAPPI-PIMA Student Summit is annual event that brings together students from paper and packaging schools and gives them the opportunity to network in-per- son while reinforcing their interest in pursuing a career in pulp, paper, packaging, and allied industries. It is unique in that it facilitates and encourages direct interaction among their peers, industry leaders, and hiring companies. Sponsors will be able to attend entire program or just attend special events such the Engineering Competition or the Icebreaker Mixer. Both options allow sponsors to meet more than 180 student attendees. TAPPI suggests that sponsors also bring young profes- sionals to assist with recruiting since students look forward to interacting with recent graduates to learn about life af- ter college. Sponsors also have the option to moderate a conference session, or can opt to just attend and observe potential recruits interacting with their peers. Interviewing at the TAPPI-PIMA Student Summit allows hiring companies to save on recruiting expenses for this

qualified, industry-specific pool of future professionals. Learn more about the TAPPI-PIMA Student Summit, plus Interview Booth and Sponsorship Opportunities.
