Alumni & Giving

School of Packaging alumni and friends provide support in many ways. Many have realized the satisfaction provided by supporting the education, research and outreach goals of the school. As traditional funding sources continue to decline, the need for private support is greater than ever.

Giving Opportunities

By investing in our students, our faculty and our spaces, we will assure that the MSU School of Packaging will continue to develop the science that will raise the bar as we continue to lead the field as the first school of packaging in the country. We will continue to educate and deliver a well-prepared workforce for the industry and the educators of tomorrow.
