What makes packaging so exciting? Just ask University of Florida's Alex Felice. This month's rising star shares with us his passion for packaging. What was it about University of Florida and packaging that made you want to embark down this path? Felice: Initially interested in the biofuels field, I began my collegiate path in UF's Biological Engineering program. One of my classes was taught by Dr. Bruce Welt who is the program coordinator for packaging. He mentioned the field a few times in class, which piqued my interest, so I asked him for more information. It didn't take me long to see the appeal and transfer into the packaging program. Packaging offers the unique opportunity to apply technical knowledge, engineering principles and graphic design.
