"The PAC Educational Programs within the School of Communications Arts at Seneca@York has generated a level of excitement I have not seen since I became involved with our packaging course. The students are eager to become members and realize through the PAC educational program our packaging industry is a frontier they will now consider even over print.

The PAC programs offer to our students a broad spectrum of membership and educational benefits from participating in a national student competition to the PAC Fair /conference where the students will mingle with prospective employers. In addition PAC is going full throttle with the sustainability issues and continually offers a host of seminars that engage our students.

All in all I am truly happy that Seneca became members and I am proud to sit on the PAC Student Committee."
