The GTPPF Board of Directors expressed appreciation to Professor Dr. Jeff Hsieh for his many years as a leader in the university community and in the industry. Dr. Hsieh has served as Director and Professor of the Georgia Tech Pulp and Paper Engineering Multidisciplinary Certificate Program for 30 years.
Dr. David Sholl, Chair of School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, presented a plaque to Dr. Hsieh to commemorate his service. The plaque recognizes Dr. Hsieh “for his leadership, dedication, enthusiasm and outstanding distinguished service for the past 30 years.” Board Chairman Harry Levengood observed, “Jeff has always worked tirelessly to promote the program to students and to the pulp and paper industry. He is dedicated to teaching engineering students and to the advancement of the pulp and paper program at Georgia Tech.”
"Teaching our pulp and paper students is more than just having their bodies and minds in the classroom,” Dr. Hsieh commented. “The most important thing to help their learning about pulp manufacturing is to develop their interests and their passion and soul in the technology. The goal of our program is to provide students knowledge of the pulp and paper process, so that they might make an informed decision when pursuing careers within the paper industry and allied businesses.”
