Full Summary:
No summary paragraph submitted.
Carl LandeggerCarl Landegger, a former chair of the IPST board of trustees, addressed the Paper Tricentennial Building rededication ceremony last year, saying of the future of the forest bioproducts industry: “We’ll solve its problems by making new products.” This year, advancing that assertion, he has provided a generous donation to the Georgia Tech Foundation to fund a senior design project, led by Dr Meisha Shofner, in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). The project concerns the design of functional handles for paper bags which would help them compete more effectively with plastic shopping bags used ubiquitously. The MSE senior design team includes five students in their senior year. The team will present their project in the campus-wide Georgia Tech Capstone Design Expo on the evening of April 24.
Mr. Landegger is a member of the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame. He led Parsons & Whittemore and Black Clawson during his extensive career in and around the industry.
