The Packaging Science program was established at RIT in 1972 as a degree program offered in Institute College, which was re-named the College of Applied Sciences and Technology in 1981. During the 1974-75 school year, the Packaging Science Club was formed. The purpose of the club was to, “educate interested persons of the RIT community in the field of packaging by sharing in the knowledge and experiences beyond that which academics can provide.”
