ICPF Donates To Expand UT-A Corrugated Program
Six years ago, the International Corrugated Packag- ing Foundation installed a DT 3000 CAD sample table (donated to ICPF by Vanguard Packaging) and Artios software (donated by Esko) to initiate a partnership and packaging design program for the University of Texas Arlington graphic design students within the university’s Art &Art History Department. That same year, Jana Harris (Harris Packaging) whose firm is an ICPF corporate partner, was recruited by ICPF to serve as ICPF’s representative to University of TexasArlington’s (UT-A) new corrugated packaging ad- visory board. Like the ICPF representatives who have been appointed to the advisory boards established at its other 25 partner universities, Harris has donated extensive time to provide input on UT-A’s corrugated packaging program, to mentor corrugated packaging faculty and students, to hire student interns and new graduates, and to promote the hiring of student interns by other ICPF corporate partners with operations in the region.
