Robert Testin Outstanding Packaging Science Senior Award winner for Fall 2021
Mr. Henry Lopez is a senior at Clemson University, majoring in Packaging Science with an emphasis area in package design and graphics. Henry strongly values building meaningful relationships with people. One of his professional goals is to practice being an empathetic leader. In the summer of 2018 (June 2018 to August 2018), Mr. Lopez worked as a Packaging Intern at Pratt Industries in Simpsonville, S.C. After completing this internship, Henry was certain that he had chosen the right major. This experience revealed to him that packaging science combines his interests in engineering, graphic design, and marketing.
In January 2020, Mr. Lopez began his six-month co-op (end in July 2020) at Campbell Soup Company in Camden, New Jersey. As a packaging engineer co-op, his projects exposed him to a wide range of packaging materials. In the Fall semester of 2020, Henry joined the creative inquiry team at Clemson University that works with Clemson Football to develop recruitment mail for football prospects. Henry designed packaging structures for multiple mailers, which is currently used by the Clemson University Athletic Department.
