Corrugated Labs Launch At Rutgers, Western Michigan Working with the Rutgers Packaging Engineering Department and Western Michigan University’s (WMU) Department of Chemical and Paper Engineer- ing, ICPF recently launched two new corrugated packaging design labs. In conjunction with the launch of the design labs, both universities have committed to expand their curricula to specifically address corrugated packaging. The two new design labs at Rutgers and WMU are part of the ICPF Corrugated Packaging University En- dowment Awards program in which ICPF’s 25 part- ner universities, as well as other colleges around the country, were invited to submit proposals to expand or create new corrugated curricula. Nine campuses that submitted proposals will re- ceive funding and donations over a four-year period to create or expand curricula. Additionally, all univer- sities across the nation have been invited to annually submit additional corrugated packaging curricula proposals for ICPF’s packaging award assistance. Rutgers Packaging Engineering currently offers two programs, a Packaging Engineering Major and the Packaging Engineering Certificate. Western Michigan University’s Graphic and Printing Science (GPS) along with Paper Engineering (PE) and Chemical Engineering (CHEG) is located within the Department of Chemical and Paper Engineering.
