Packaging World Outstanding Packaging Science Senior winner for Spring 2022
Harry Tsang is the Clemson University nominee for the Packaging World Outstanding Senior in Packaging Science. Like many students, he was unsure about his career path upon entering the university and was unaware that a degree in packaging existed. Having made the switch in his sophomore year, he is confident that he could not have made a better decision.
In spring of 2021, he completed his first co-op at Campbell Soup Company, where he discovered that his true interest is working with consumer packaged goods. During the fall of 2021, he completed his second co-op at Unilever where he had the opportunity to work with both Seventh Generation and Ben & Jerry’s. He is extremely grateful for both opportunities as they allowed him to learn more about the industry and grow as a young packaging scientist prior to his full-time position.
Upon his graduation this spring, he will be returning to Unilever as an Associate Packaging Engineer in Trumbull, Conn.
