Awards & Recognitions

  • The CoLA Scholar distinction is awarded to outstanding students that have been nominated by their departments at the request of the Office of the Dean. The CoLA Scholar recognition highlights some of the best and brightest in our college. 

  • J. Richard “Dick” Troll was a founder, past president, and chairman of the Association of Independent Corrugated Converters (AICC), an international trade association representing the independent sector of the corrugated packaging industry. He was an established leader, having lived in the corrugated paper and packaging industry and fully able to understand the box plant owner’s concerns.

    His dream was always that those studying packaging would want to apply their talents to corrugated packaging. And so, the trustees of the J. Richard Troll Memorial Fund established this scholarship to help exemplary packaging students achieve scholastic and professional success.
