MESSAGE FROM DEAN MYRON F. FLOYD This year, we were thrilled to see our students, faculty and sta昀昀 thriving as they returned to many of the activities we missed over the last three years. We were particularly excited to host our 昀椀rst Paper International Experience since before COVID-19. Our students spent 10 days in Finland visiting pulp and paper manufacturing operations, research centers, local universities, and more. We are grateful to have this cornerstone of our program back and to o昀昀er our students the global perspective that will make them better engineers. Dr. Jingxin Wang from West Virginia University will join us as the new Head of the Department of Forest Biomaterials e昀昀ective January 1, 2024. I am con昀椀dent that his 15+ years of leadership and expertise in forestry and natural resources, sustainable biomaterials, and bioenergy will make him a strong asset to the department. We are thankful to Dr. Steve Kelley for serving as Interim Department Head for the past two years. Steve is closing out his time as interim and heading straight into retirement. We wish him all the best. Dr. Katherine Saul, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, will serve as Interim Department Head of Forest Biomaterials from July 1, 2023, until Dr. Wang arrives. We are also delighted to welcome Charles “Allen” Sanders as the new Executive Director of the Pulp and Paper Advisory Board, and Angela Freuler Rush as new Director of Recruiting for Paper Science and Engineering. Jennifer Piercy 昀椀lled both of these roles for 10 years. With her transition to Assistant Dean for Advancement for the college in 2022, we took the opportunity to divide this position into two, allowing the advisory board and our prospective students to get more focused attention. Both are graduates of our pulp and paper program with extensive industry experience. I look forward to the expertise and new perspective Allen and Angela bring to our college. Thank you for your continued support over the last three years. While our students’ experiential opportunities looked a little di昀昀erent, we were able to continue to provide the best possible experiences and education because of the support of our advisory board, donors and industry partners. The Pulp and Paper Advisory Board bolsters our program, ensures we are graduating career-ready students, and cements our relationships with industry helping our students land internships and graduate with one of the highest job placement rates on campus. Myron F. Floyd Dean, College of Natural Resources 3

REPORT FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD Greetings on behalf of the executive team and Advisory Board. It is an honor to serve with so many dedicated individuals who work together to support our industry, and most importantly, the Paper Science and Engineering (PSE) program at NC State. We appreciate your continued support and ask that you continue advocating on our behalf by participating on committees, helping us recruit new industry partners, and joining us at our annual fall and spring meetings. It has been a year of change both within the PSE program and advisory board. The College of Natural Resources (CNR) announced a new leader for the Department of Forest Biomaterials, Dr. Jingxin Wang, who comes to NC State from West Virginia University, starting in January 2024. We congratulate Dr. Steve Kelley on his retirement and many years of faithful service to the department. We expect under Dr. Wang’s leadership, a continued upward trajectory of excellence in programs, student development, and industry partnerships. In the interim, Dr. Katherine Saul will lead the department. Dr. Saul is a distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at NC State. Jennifer Piercy was 昀椀nally able to focus on her primary role as Assistant Dean for College Advancement, CNR. A simple word of thanks is not enough to recognize Ronnie Hise and Bart Nicholson for stepping up to continue the work of the advisory board through this time of transition, but we are very grateful! Based on this past year, we approved a division of duties (internal vs external) that will enable us to be more strategic and achieve our goals. Angie Rush ‘91, will be focusing on the internal duties of student recruitment, retention and development as the Director of Undergraduate Student Recruiting and Allen Sanders ‘85 will be responsible for external and industry relations, which include the advisory board and committees, corporate relations and philanthropy. Our Board hosted the spring meeting and also held the annual Celebration Banquet. It’s become a tradition at the end of the celebration to recognize graduating seniors, new board members and honored guests. We hope you can join us as we have scheduled the spring meeting for March 21, 2024 and the fall meeting for August 29, 2024. As you will see in other sections of this annual report, our Board and volunteers have partnered with our program to grow our ability to serve our related industries. Below are some of the things we have accomplished together: • Our program was successful on Day of Giving in securing more than 50 unique donors to the Medwick Byrd Family endowment and receiving a challenge match gift of $5,000. This fund is now fully endowed. • We planned and executed a successful general session event at our Spring 2023 meeting. We were honored to have as a guest speaker, Mr. John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive O昀케cer of Domtar Corporation. Mr. Williams held a captive audience as he spoke to over 150 PSE students about manufacturing excellence, history, key strategic positions and provided many tips for new engineers starting their careers. • 49 PSE students attended the Paper Internal Experience trip to Finland for 10 days and thanks to the generous support of alumni and industry, they were able to raise $51,000. • We secured a gift in kind from Nalco Ecolab valued at $600,000 for a lab scale creping simulator used for both undergraduate and graduate research, as well as in our Tissue Pack Innovation lab. • $100k SAFI, NextGen Fibers – A contribution through a partnership with SAFI and NGO’s to map the carbon footprint of sustainable and alternative 昀椀bers. • Suzano Scholarship – Suzano endowed a $50,000 scholarship for paper science and engineering students with a preference for students that are 昀椀rst generation or needs based. • The annual PSE/PGM golf tournament raised over $4,300 for each of the two programs that sponsored the event. The date has been set for March 22, 2024, we hope you can join us. The success of the Advisory Board depends entirely on the participation and involvement of our directors, members, alumni and friends, industry partners and our faculty and sta昀昀. We appreciate your tremendous support and ask that you continue advocating on our behalf by participating on committees, helping us recruit new industry partners, and joining us at our annual fall and spring meetings. With your help, we will continue to be a positive force in guiding our world-class PSE program. Mary E Elliston C. Allen Sanders President, NC State Pulp and Paper Advisory Board Executive Director, NC State Pulp and Paper Advisory Board Class of 2005 Class of 1985 4

IMPACT OF GIVING MEDWICK BYRD FAMILY ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP If you ask Med Byrd what inspired him to create this while attending NC State (selling and moving pianos!), endowment, he will describe a number of things -- but to help o昀昀set expenses. When he was o昀昀ered a the biggest driver behind this endowment, and much scholarship to add Pulp and Paper Technology to his of what he continues to do on a daily basis, is making Chemical Engineering degree, it meant a lot to him and a di昀昀erence in the lives of young people. His passion his family. Of course, just as it is today, it was more comes out in everything he does as he continues to than just the award money -- the scholarship also teach and advise in the PSE program. He has seen the came with a lot of academic and personal support, lives of many students change for the better because as well as the chance to get industry internships that of the various kinds of support provided by the paid as much or more than the actual scholarship. program – including, of course, the 昀椀nancial support “I have been given a lot,” says Med, “and I feel like provided by endowed scholarships and annual giving. giving some of it back is the right thing to do. If my Med’s family was of very modest means, with two endowment makes it a little easier for some families kids to put through college. Med worked part time to put their children through the PSE program, then I have done my job.” For Med, this endowment also recognizes that the PSE program has given him a career that is, in many ways, a dream career -- the opportunity to inspire young people about the unique beauty of papermaking. Med’s intended target for the scholarship are students who have signi昀椀cant 昀椀nancial need, especially those from rural and under-represented areas from the state of NC and beyond. He says, “I believe we all need to work hard to make sure that this population is not shut out of an engineering education at NC State.” Med hopes that his philanthropy will be contagious and will produce a new generation of successful graduates who feel compelled to give back some of what they were given. NALCO ECOLAB DONATES CREPING STIMULATOR NALCO, an Ecolab Company, generously donated a state-of-the-art creping device to the Sustainable and Alternative Fibers Initiative (SAFI).

2022-2023 PAPER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING UPDATE In last year’s program update, I described some challenges that we had for the upcoming year. I am pleased to announce that we have successfully met those challenges, and the Paper Science and Engineering Program is still strong and successful. First of all, we went through our fourth ABET accreditation review in the fall, and – once again – received a 100 % clean bill of health. As in past years, the evaluator lauded the strong relationship between the program and its industry partners. Second, Dr. Lucian Lucia and Dr. Richard Venditti assumed the teaching responsibilities of Dr. Hasan Jameel, who retired from teaching last year. There had been some apprehension about this major faculty change, but the transition ended up being seamless. Third, we were successful in our second department head search. An o昀昀er was made and accepted, and Dr. Jingxin Wang will join our department in January of 2024. Until then, we are pleased to have Dr. Katherine Saul, from the Department Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, serving as the interim department head. Finally, after having to cancel the popular Paper International Experience (PIE) trip in 2021 due to Covid, we planned and executed a PIE trip for summer 2023 and took a whopping 49 students to Finland. We were able to raise over $51,000 to make this happen. Moving into the new academic year, we are thrilled to have Angie Rush as our new Director of Recruiting (the role formerly 2022-2023 Year in Summary occupied by Jennifer Piercy). Angie (PPT alumnus 1991) sat in as the interim director last year, and she was very successful Number of Graduates: 35 in building a cohort of 35 new incoming students for Fall 2023. Incoming Students, Fall 2022: 32 Enrollment numbers are down for many engineering degree Graduation Job Placement: 100% programs across the country, and PSE is no exception (same On-campus Transfers: 8 for our CHE program). For the upcoming fall, our undergraduate Average Salary: $80,300 headcount is 156, a bit short of the scorecard metric of 160-192. % New Out of State Students: 30% We are working on some innovative ideas to attract and retain more students for the upcoming year. Although there seems to be some slowdown in parts of the industry, job o昀昀ers (internships, co-ops, full time) last year were abundant and gratifying. Of the 35 PSE graduates last year, 73% accepted jobs with pulp/paper manufacturers or allied suppliers. This is consistent with past years. Interviews have begun for new faculty members to replace Drs. Jameel and Argyropoulos. It is hoped that the 昀椀rst of these will be in place at the start of 2024. If you look at the measures of program strength and success above, I hope you realize that all of them are made possible by the generosity and support of YOU – our industry partners, alumni, advisory board members, friends, and supporters. Your donations of funds, time, service, and support make the di昀昀erence, and it is greatly appreciated! Dr. Med Byrd Director of Undergraduate Programs Class of 1984 14

JENNIFER PIERCY ‘94 REFLECTS ON DECADE OF SUCCESS AT NC STATE There’s a word for what Jennifer Piercy feels as she Piercy’s career has taken a few unexpected turns, heads to work every day as the assistant dean for and that has made all the di昀昀erence, she said. After college advancement and president of the NC State graduating from NC State with degrees in pulp and Natural Resources Foundation. The word: Passion. paper technology and chemical engineering in 1994, It’s not just the job she loves. It’s serving the university Piercy joined Procter & Gamble in Georgia as a that launched her career. It’s working in an industry process engineer, machine manager and operations she treasures — she cut her teeth in paper mills in manager. She and her husband, Jerry, made a deal Kentucky, thanks to an alumnus with whom she still when he felt a call to get an MBA at the University of works today. Most of all, it’s the people: the alumni, Virginia. After two years, it would be her turn to return students and hard-working board and committee to her work in paper operations and manufacturing. members. Piercy uses the word “love” often when Those plans changed when Piercy landed a job at she speaks of those people, and her work. the university’s Darden School of Business in the “When Dean Floyd asked me to serve as the interim MBA Career Services Center. “All of this was totally assistant dean for college advancement, he asked if I out of my comfort zone, but it taught me a lot about would be applying for the full-time position.

eventually joined the Pulp and Paper Advisory Board and the Paper Science and Engineering program in the Department of Forest Biomaterials. She knew right away that she had found her dream job. During her time in the Department of Forest Biomaterials, Piercy doubled the size of the Pulp and Paper Advisory Board and its committees, developed key industry partnerships resulting in an 85% increase in corporate giving, doubled annual giving and alumni participation, and managed the recruiting and scholarship program for paper science and engineering students. Earlier this year, Piercy celebrated her successful career when she became one of two industry leaders to receive the 2023 Woman of the Year Award from the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI). TAPPI is the leading association for the worldwide pulp, paper, packaging, tissue and converting industries. The award recognizes women who have demonstrated excellence in leading, motivating, and developing others within the pulp, paper, tissue, packaging and supporting industries. Piercy has done all of that and more – championing women in an industry where back in the day, a woman on the job was not quite as common. Piercy added, “I tell students these days, hopefully in At NC State, about 43% of students in the Paper another generation we’re not talking about women Science and Engineering program are female, up from in industry, right? Hopefully that goes away because what once was only a quarter of the total enrollment. our young women will experience way more equity in “There are great support systems in place now, treatment than I did.” though women still face some issues,” Piercy said.
