Join the Club!

Make friends, meet employers and learn more about the amazing career opportunities in Packaging Science by participating in the UF Packaging Science Student Club..

Monthly meetings allow students to interact with other packaging science students, plan community service projects and industry-related field trips and to network with visiting employers to learn about internship and employment opportunities.

The University of Florida Packaging Science Club is an academic student organization under the Agriculture Life Science College Council (ALSCC), which is under the Board of College Council (BOCC).

The goal of the PKG Club is to build a forum in the UF community, discuss packaging events and innovation, to build a useful network between students of UF's Packaging Science Program and packaging employers and to participate in the national university packaging community.The club is an active student chapter of the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IOPP).
