A New Website for a New Era

Introducing SPPF’s Revamped Online Home, Designed for Students, Families, Partners, and Alumni

Following the launch of our refreshed brand identity, the Syracuse Pulp & Paper Foundation (SPPF) is excited to unveil our brand-new website. This new site not only reflects our updated look but also enhances how we serve the students, families, corporate partners, and alumni who make up the SPPF community.

Today’s students, and the industries they’ll soon lead, deserve tools that are as dynamic and forward-looking as they are. Our new website is built to deliver on that promise.

A Gateway to the SPPF Experience

Our new site is designed to be more than just an information source. It is a hub for connection, inspiration, and opportunity.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Responsive Across Devices: Whether you’re browsing from a phone, tablet, or laptop, the site now adapts seamlessly to give you the best experience possible whenever and wherever you visit.
  • Clearer Access to Scholarships & Grants: One of SPPF’s greatest strengths is the support we offer through generous scholarships and grants. Now, it’s easier than ever to learn what’s available, understand the application process, and take that first step toward a debt-free engineering degree.
  • A Platform for News and Events: From internship opportunities and industry spotlights to upcoming student and alumni events, our new events and blog sections help keep the entire community connected and informed.
  • A Community Resource: Whether you’re a high school student exploring career paths, a parent supporting the journey, a corporate member looking to connect, or an alum eager to give back, you’ll find dedicated spaces just for you.
  • Aligned With Our Mission: The site reflects the same key messaging and mission that guided our rebrand. It clearly communicates our commitment to empowering students today to drive innovation tomorrow and to building a more sustainable, opportunity-filled future.
  • Easier to Get Involved: Want to mentor a student? Sponsor a scholarship? Attend an event or stay in the loop? The new site makes it easier than ever to raise your hand and connect with SPPF.

Designed for What’s Next

This website is more than just a refresh. It reflects where we’re headed as a Foundation and as a community. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for students to find their footing, for alumni to stay involved, and for partners to see the value of investing in the future of this essential industry.

We invite you to explore the site, bookmark your favorite pages, and share it with someone who might benefit from all that SPPF has to offer.
