This summer, Hannah Andrews `27 put her paper science and engineering experience into action during an internship with Solenis in Augusta, Georgia. 🔬🌲
From laboratory testing and analyzing samples to learning the ins and outs of the specialty chemicals side of the paper industry, Hannah gained hands-on experience, built new skills and discovered even more possibilities for her future career.
"From day one, my team wrapped me in support, taking time out of their busy schedules to break down complex ideas and guide me through the nuances of the industry. They didn’t just teach me; they invested in me.
I’m walking away with much more than just industry knowledge, I’m leaving with genuine relationships and mentors who truly believed in my potential, which has honestly made me more excited than ever to pursue a career in this industry."

NC State researchers are working to create more sustainable products and support rural communities across the Southeast. 🌱 Their work is part of a major initiative backed by up to $160 million from the National Science Foundation.
The initiative, known as the BRIDGES Engine, will turn crops like miscanthus and switchgrass into biobased materials for automotive, construction and packaging applications while building new markets, businesses and jobs in rural communities.
Dr. Ronalds Gonzalez, an associate professor in the Department of Forest Biomaterials (@ncstatefb), has been appointed to the BRIDGES leadership team and will assess the affordability and sustainability of products developed through the initiative.
"We are making sure these technologies aren’t just fascinating lab experiments but affordable, environmentally friendly tools that can make a positive difference in everyday life."
