MARY C. WATZIN
Our Paper Science and Engineering program is thriving, and I am proud to say it is one of the best in the country. With a strong hands-on education, our students continue to advance our college’s mission of providing cutting-edge solutions for the sustainable use of natural resources.
The Paper Science and Engineering program boasts 100 percent job placement and some of the highest starting salaries on campus – in no small part because our students graduate with extensive experiential learning opportunities not found in the classroom. Thanks to our many industry partnerships, all of our students gain in-depth industry knowledge through internships, co-ops, and study abroad, and enjoy both personal and professional growth through their experiences.
We are pleased that with your help, so many of our students receive financial support through scholarships to pursue their passions in the paper industry. Many of our alumni, like Jacob Vrooman (page 18), begin their journey with a scholarship and an industry internship. These essential experiences and support are just the first steps to a successful career.
In addition to traditional financial support and one of the largest endowments per capita on campus, gifts-in- kind and gifts of time have become vital to training our students for their future endeavors (page 11). Alumni volunteers, like Jeff Reese (page 19), dedicate many hours to conducting mock interviews with students, giving guest lectures and providing crucial professional development opportunities. We also continue to have alumni like Rebecca Robertson Williams (‘05), who recruit and recommend stellar students such as transfer student and Goodnight Scholar Marilu Salazar (page 12).
It brings me great delight to announce that Dr. Richard Venditti and Dr. Stephen Kelley (both featured on page 17) received named professorships this year. Professorships recognize outstanding faculty members and empower them to build innovative research programs addressing emerging opportunities in forest biomaterials that impact the economy, our quality of life, and environmental sustainability.
I am so proud of all our students, alumni, faculty, staff, volunteers and supporters. Your continued support of this prestigious program keeps our college robust and relevant in a constantly changing world. We are strong today because of the life-long commitment of so many. Thank you for all you do.
Mary C. Watzin Dean, NC State College of Natural Resources
4 REPORT FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD
On behalf of the executive committee and board, greetings from the Pulp and Paper Advisory Committee! We are honored to serve in a leadership capacity for this wonderful group of dedicated individuals, serving a powerful industry.
We have many accomplishments this past year to be proud of: • Fundraising $295,000 from corporate entities, $65,000 from individuals and adding $125,000 to existing or new endowments. • Encouraging gifts in kind that we’ll be celebrating this year including an upgrade to the wet end of the Wolfpack Baby paper machine from IBS; a tissue creping simulator from Kemira; and PI Process book free-license software from OSIsoft to name a few. • Providing the support of our industry that places our graduates at the top of all engineering disciplines for starting salary and job placement. • Engaging alumni through class contests, reunions and local events so that we all continue to be a part of our “paper science family” no matter the years or the distance.
We have a lot to be thankful for and it would not happen without the involvement of our board members, dedicated alumni and friends, industry partners and the College, Department and program faculty and staff.
While we have continued to see record breaking attendance at foundation meetings and other events, as well as within the board and on committees, we encourage you to continue to advocate on our behalf. We always welcome new industry partners, committee members, board members and volunteers. Our excellent program and reputation were built on generations of volunteers and advocates before us. We encourage each one of you to help us pursue our goal of a world class, world renowned program.
We look forward to a new academic year with a robust freshman class, as well as new additions to our rising sophomore group; a Paper International Experience (PIE) Trip to plan, two graduation ceremonies and countless visit with alumni and industry partners.
Thank you for your dedication, support and time. GO WOLFPACK!

5 UPDATE ON THE PSE PROGRAM 2017-18 Dr. Med Byrd
Enrollment in the PSE undergraduate program continues to hold steady, with about 185 students distributed across the four years. Approximately 60% of those students are pursuing the dual degree in Chemical Engineering.
Our recruiting efforts continue to produce good results. We had 31 new incoming students last fall and have 37 coming in for the upcoming semester. In the past 4 years, three cohorts have been at or above 40% female, due to focused efforts to improve our gender diversity. We are now turning that same level of intensity to improving our ethnic diversity. Overall, 13% of the student body is from out of state, representing 14 different states.
On-campus transfers are an important source of new students for PSE. While the attrition rate for new incoming students is 20-25% in the first two semesters (mainly students who are not sure what they want to do), this loss is more than made up for by the addition of 15-18 first- and second-year students from other programs on campus. Since these students come to us “pre-vetted,” they end up being highly successful.
Thirty-seven students graduated from the program last year (15 in December, 22 in May). Job opportunities were again abundant, and the placement rate for the year was 100%. It should be noted that there 2017-2018 Year in Summary are an increasing number of opportunities with suppliers of chemicals, equipment, and technology. Graduates with the dual degree continue to Number of graduates: 37 see a wide array of job options with companies outside the industry (e.g. Exxon-Mobil, Dow), although most accept offers from companies in and Incoming freshmen, fall 2017: 31 allied with the paper industry. The average starting salary of $73,500 is Job Placement at Graduation: 100% one of the highest on campus. Transfer students added: 18 A new faculty member, Dr. Nathalie Lavoine, joined us this year and is now on-boarded. She brings impressive experience in packaging Average Salary: $73,500 and biomaterials, two exciting growth areas for the industry. She is % out of state (new students): 19% developing a course in packaging, which we hope to deploy in the spring semester of 2019.
PSE faced two retirements in the past year. After almost 14 years of tireless service, student support specialist, Pat Hill retired. Of course, this caused us much concern, but as of this writingn we have welcomed Brittany Hayes to our team. She is energetic, dedicated and passionate about career and student services. We look forward to another vigorous fall recruiting season with Ms. Hayes leading the way.
After 42 years of service, advising, and administration, Dr. Adrianna Kirkman announced her retirement, effective July 1, 2018. We all appreciate her incredible contributions to the success of PSE and CNR, and we wish her the best in retirement. Her teaching responsibilities are being distributed across the current faculty members.
With regard to the curriculum, we deployed the new “track” system for students pursuing the single PSE degree. Students must select course electives that put them on one of the following tracks: Chemical Engineering Starter Track; Business Management Track; Process Control Certificate Track; Chemistry Track; Sustainable Materials and Technology Track. Approximately 10 students are pursuing the Process Control Certificate, which is being received with a great deal of excitement.
Last year saw major investments in our labs and pilot plant. Capabilities were added in tissue manufacturing and analysis, as well as in papermaking. Included in these additions was a high-speed tissue creping simulator, the only one of its kind in the world. We successfully used internal funds to leverage over half a million dollars in donated funds and equipment. In the upcoming year, we expect to add similar capabilities in packaging design and manufacture. We also plan to add more advanced sensors to the baby paper machine, as well as capabilities to capture and analyze “big data” generated by those sensors.
The sustained success of PSE is due in large part to the continued support and generosity of our alumni, friends, and corporate partners. Thank you for all that you do for this program. 6 MEET OUR NEW STUDENTS – FALL 2018

Marilu Salazar, a Paper Science Although she is new, Salazar wasted no time jumping right and Engineering and Chemical in to gain hands-on experience in her fields of study. She Engineering double major, took recently completed an internship at Bridgestone in Wilson, the road less traveled to finding NC, where she helped with quality testing and sample her majors. A Goodnight Scholar collection and learned how to create a tire from rubber. Her transfer student from Nash main project was to determine under what conditions rubber Community College (NCC), should be stored to maintain its ideal shape. Salazar always knew she wanted In addition to her hands-on experiences, Salazar is also to be an engineer, studying at taking advantage of the many networking and professional one of the top-rated colleges in development opportunities available to College of Natural the state. However, she didn’t Resources students.

The college is helping me be more Chemistry Instructor. Williams inspired Salazar to branch out confident in myself. I have been trying to get out of my shell and consider the paper path.

It’s only a matter Resources,” Salazar said. “I am happy and excited about of reaching out to them and not being afraid to ask for help joining the Wolfpack!” when you most need it.”
I love telling my students about the great experience I had in the Paper Science and Engineering program! I am so thankful to have been surrounded by such supportive professors and friends during my time at NC State. I have been teaching for ten years and tell every class about my experiences. Students seem to enjoy hearing “yet another paper story,” knowing it will be a few minutes before we dive back into the curriculum. The school and the industry were good to me. I’m so glad that I can give back by telling great students like Marilu about the program. We miss her already at NCC but I know she will do amazing things as part of the Wolfpack!
