Genevieve Pike

Major(s): Paper Science & Engineering and Chemical Engineering with either a Biomolecular Concentration or a minor in Business Managment or both
Year: I am a first year senior.
Hometown: Wilson, NC
After I graduate: What I want to do after I graduate tends to change everyday.  I have thought about graduate school or pursuing an MBA.  As of today, I would like to work in sales probably as a supplier to the paper industry.
What I like best about WPS:
I like how small the WPS program is.  I know most of my classmates and I know a lot of people in the program both older and younger than me.  I have made really good friends through the paper science department.
Advice: Get to know your classmates because they make excellent study partners in all your classes, including WPS.  And have fun!

Madison Green

Major(s): Wood Products
Year: Junior
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
After I graduate: I plan to go to grad school for Enviornmental Policy
What I like best about WPS: The personal relationships I have made
outside of the classroom with my fellow classmates and my professors
Advice: Take time to enjoy all aspects of college and the more involved you become on campus and in particualr your major the more you will get out of your time here at NCSU.

Doug Mehlenbacher

Major(s): PSE and CHE
Year: Sophomore:
Hometown: Jacksonville, NC
After I graduate: Travel for a year or so and then ultimately work in a mill doing something awesome!
What I like best about WPS: The small classes and how tight we all are, the crazy amount of jobs out there for us, and all the opportunities to do whatever I want with college.
Advice: Don't you dare count out paper as something boring and redneck until you step foot in a mill and experience 10 things going on at once!

Jessica Rogers

Major(s): Paper Science and Engineering (Plan to later Double in Chemical Engineering)
Year: Freshman
Hometown: Greensboro,NC
After I graduate: I don't really know what I want to do after I graduate. I either want to work for the U.S Treasury and make paper money...or I want to get my master's degree and do research.
What I like best about WPS: I love how all of the WPS faculty and staff truly care about you and will try their best to help you  succeed while you are at NC State and even after you graduate.
Advice: The advice I would give to someone considering NC State and the Dept. of Wood and Paper Science is to try the program out! There is no other department like it on NC State's campus. They take care of you and this is an important quality a department should have when you go to a school as large as State, you want to feel as if you belong.
