Every two years, juniors and seniors in the Paper Science & Engineering Program at North Carolina State University embark on the "Paper International Experience," (PIE) a 10-day culture and professional immersion experience abroad. The goal of this experience is to make students more aware of the global nature of the pulp and paper industry -- and to expose them to a different culture.
Past PIE trips have taken students to China and Chile. This year, 15 students are traveling to Brazil. They will visit four pulp and paper manufacturing facilities, as well as the pulp and paper program at the University of Vicosa.
Stay tuned for photos and daily updates about the students!
