Packaging School & AICC on how Change is "Hard, Messy, and Gorgeous"

Our very own Dr. Suggs and Alli Keigley write in a feature of BoxScore by AICC.

Dr. Suggs states:

"One of my favorite quotes about change comes from Canadian writer, Robin Sharma: “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous in the end.” During grad school, this was never more relevant for me than the time I spent working on revisions for peer-reviewed articles. The coveted minor revisions recommendation meant you were off to the races. But the recommended major revisions let you know things were indeed going to get messy before they got better. Only after much effort, many sleepless nights, and copious amounts of coffee would the gorgeous end be achieved.

Now, as the academic director of the Packaging School, this quote still holds true. It is never easy to critique your hard work. But our team knew that waiting too long to update our online courses could compromise the training experience. So, our team began the process of reviewing our educational offerings, starting with the Certificate of Packaging Science (CPS), a 12-course online curriculum that teaches the materials, processes, and influences shaping the advancement of the packaging industry."
