If you are a prospective student
that is interested in applying to the University of Toronto to study,
you need to first get admitted through a department (e.g. Chemical
Engineering & Applied Chemistry, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering,
Forestry, Chemistry, etc.) and follow their admission procedures.
The Centre does not have an admissions program but you can look
at the Faculty listing
here in our website to help find professors with an interest in
pulp and paper. While most of our students are graduate students,
we also welcome interest from students in undergraduate programs
as our faculty hire several summer students into their research
labs.
If you are a student (graduate or undergraduate), postdoctoral fellow
or researcher that is at the University of Toronto or is coming
to the University of Toronto, then you simply need to contact our
Director and/or Secretary
and ask to be part of the Centre. Well put you on a mailing
list, introduce you to our students, and introduce you to our student
and other programs. Our student programs include, among other items:
communications, team and leadership skills workshops; seminar and
writing skills programs; student conferences and international and
local tours of industrial facilities. While most students and other
researchers have projects related to pulp and paper, this is not
a requirement to you becoming involved. In fact, several of our
students (including some in leadership positions) have not had projects
with a direct link to the industry; often they are surprised to
find that there is interest from our industrial partners because
of the wide range of applicable topics to the industry. A list of
our current Students
and some of their activities is available here on our website and
that of the Pulp & Paper Centre student organization TISCUT.
If you find our programs to be of interest and you are willing to
get involved, then you are welcome to join us!
