Prompted Post #5: CoPPAC

A student organization related to my field is called CoPPAC (Coalition of Packaging Professionals and Academic Connections). I interviewed a girl from my “PKG101” class that’s in CoPPAC and was able to get the gist of the club. This club includes activities such as field trips to packaging student events, attendance at packaging industry trade shows, company visits, and social events with other packaging students and faculty. CoPPAC meets every Tuesday, advised by a faculty member of Michigan State, and listens to guest speakers from the industry or other programs.

CoPPAC

While many other MSU student groups communicate by entertainment, meeting new people, or making a difference, this organization is solely focused on learning. The topics of discussion at every meeting range from learning about internship opportunities to innovations in packaging design. CoPPAC is a great thing not only for Michigan State packaging students, but the packaging industry too.
