Brianna Downing: I am graduating from Penn State Behrend today in plastics engineering technology. I am a part of the plastics club on campus and have been secretary for the past 2 years. I will be working at Adams Manufacturing as Quality Engineer Starting in January.

My name is C.J. Mascarello and I am currently a 5th year student at Penn State Behrend studying Plastics Engineering and Technology! I am also pursuing a minor in Sustainability Leadership, alongside a certificate in Medical Plastics. I am on track to graduate next semester, and am excited to see what the greater industry holds for me!
