Dustin Merritt is a student veteran and a native of Clover, SC. He was given the opportunity of serving as a member of the Commander-in-Chief’s Guard in the Army’s 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, the official escort to the President of the United States. With interest in physics, chemistry, and engineering, he felt that a degree in Packaging Science at Clemson was the right field for him to be successful in his post military career. Dustin completed a co-op with Sealed Air in Duncan, SC, as part of the Product Care R&D team. He also completed an internship with Contec Inc., where he helped establish their first automated bottling line. Recently, Merritt was awarded the Packaging World Outstanding Senior Award in Fall of 2015.
