How Industry Leaders Shape the Future Through SPPF
For more than 65 years, the Syracuse Pulp & Paper Foundation (SPPF) has worked alongside industry leaders who understand a simple but powerful truth: investing in students isn’t just good business, it’s essential to the future of the pulp, paper, and allied industries.
Our corporate members do more than give. They collaborate, mentor, and open doors. Their support helps students graduate with little to no debt, gain hands-on experience through paid internships and co-ops, and step confidently into careers that are both high-paying and high-impact.
Every element of the SPPF experience is made possible by these partnerships, from scholarships and grants to on-campus recruitment and resume-building mentorship. The results speak for themselves. Thanks to this support, SPPF continues to deliver 100 percent job placement for graduates entering one of the most vital, evolving industries in the world.
Casie Case, SPPF Board Member and Early Talent Program Manager at Packaging Corporation of America (PCA), sees the value of this partnership firsthand. She works directly with students who benefit from these efforts and, in turn, helps bring their talent into the workforce.
“At PCA, we believe in the potential of young engineers and the future of sustainable materials,” she says. “Partnering with SPPF allows us to support both. These students are talented, curious, and driven. They’re entering the workforce ready to contribute from day one.”
PCA plays a leading role in the Foundation’s efforts to connect education with industry at the Corporate Sponsor Donor Level. But they are far from alone.
