Julia Korn, a senior at Clemson University where she is majoring in Packaging Science with a minor in Business Administration, has been named the Packaging World Outstanding Senior Award winner for Spring 2021. From Naperville, Ill., Julia decided to pursue Packaging Science as it combined her interest of CAD and 3D design with real-world applications. In 2020, Julia completed a 6-month co-op with HAVI Global Solutions where she developed her technical knowledge while working in a cross-functional environment. Outside of Packaging Science, Julia is an editor for The Tiger News, a student-run newspaper at the university. After graduation, Julia hopes to work as a Packaging Scientist in the consumer goods industry.
