“Our partnership with ICPF allows us to contribute to the development of a highly trained workforce, ensuring a bright future for the packaging industry.” Lee Geisinger, Assistant Professor at UNI said, “Arden Impact is recognized as an industry-standard application that aligns seamlessly with our program’s goals. “Its features and capabilities will complement our ex- isting curriculum, exposing students to advanced tools, enhancing their proficiency in packaging design, and preparing them for careers in the corrugated packaging industry.” Arden also recently donated an Impact Designer Pro- fessional license to ICPF for Pittsburg State University’s Graphic Communications program, significantly advanc- ing students’ ability in corrugated production. “As an industry sponsored foundation, ICPF has worked for almost 40 years to advance student and fac- ulty knowledge of the industry and to promote develop- ment of a highly trained workforce,” said Caitlin Salaver- ria, ICPF President. “We’re grateful for the generous support and commit- ment from ICPF Corporate Partner Arden Software. With their help, we’ve provided over $20 million in design software at educational institutions nationwide and look forward to continuing our efforts over the coming years.” For more information, visit icpfbox.org .
