Schedule:

The MSU School of Packaging is supporting your experiential learning experience by ensuring you have an opportunity to attend the International Pack Expo in Chicago.  The bus will drop you off at the McCormick Place at approximately 9:00am CT and you will be able to enjoy the show until the bus leaves again at 4:30pm CT.  During your time at the show you will be able to join tours of the show, network with suppliers of packaging machinery and materials, meet alumni and many other people that are involved in our industry of study.  Many of the packaging classes may send you with an assignment as well that will make the show experience more rich and allow you to learn at a deeper level if you have a focus.
