ICPF Celebrates UW-Stout Polytechnic Scholarship Recipients The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) is reinforcing its commitment to developing the next generation of packaging professionals through scholar- ship investments at colleges and universities nationwide. As part of this effort, ICPF is proud to recognize Univer- sity of Wisconsin-Stout Polytechnic packaging students Ava Franco and Elliott Hoppa, who recently received ICPF scholarships in support of their packaging education and career aspirations. Through its scholarship initiative, ICPF has pledged to provide up to $5,000 annually to participating colleges and universities to support students pursuing packaging and related degrees. As a result of ICPF’s partnerships
with university faculty, these scholarships recognize stu- dents who demonstrate academic achievement, leader- ship potential, and an interest in careers in the corrugated packaging industry. “Investing in students is one of the most meaningful ways we can strengthen the future of the corrugated pack- aging industry,” said Caitlin Salaverria, President of ICPF. “Through scholarships and partnerships with universities like UW-Stout Polytechnic, we're helping talented students continue their education while encouraging them to ex- plore the many rewarding career opportunities available in our industry. We're proud to recognize Ava and Elliott and support them as they work toward their goals.” Ava Franco, a packaging major at UW-Stout Polytech- nic, is passionate about developing innovative and sus- tainable packaging solutions. She is committed to build- ing a career in packaging and gaining the knowledge and skills needed to make a meaningful impact in the field.
DESIGNS THAT INCREASE PRODUCTION
In her scholarship acknowledgment, Franco expressed how the financial sup- port will help ease the burden of educa- tional and living expenses, allowing her to focus more fully on her studies and profes- sional development. “This scholarship will have a significant impact on my college journey,” shared Franco. “Your support enables me to con- tinue working toward my goals with less financial stress, and I am truly thankful.” Elliott Hoppa, also a packaging major at UW-Stout Polytechnic, is pursuing a career in packaging with aspirations of working in packaging design. Throughout his college experience, Hoppa has demonstrated a strong work ethic while balancing his ac- ademic responsibilities with employment and community involvement. In his scholarship acknowledgment, Hoppa expressed his gratitude for the recognition and his hope that receiving the award will inspire other packaging students to persevere through challenges and continue pursuing their goals. “The Polytechnic Advantage comes to life through partnerships like this. ICPF’s investment helps empower students to engage in applied learning and research experiences, build meaningful industry connections and develop the knowledge and skills needed to lead the future of the packaging industry. We are grateful for ICPF, our students and their success,” said Nic Katona, Vice Chancellor for University Advancement & Alumni Relations / Execu- tive Director, UW-Stout Polytechnic Foun- dation & Alumni Association.
