2016 WIST Courses
 






TAPPI is excited to be working in partnership with the Wisconsin Institute for Sustainable Technology (WIST) to help promote a series of laboratory-focused short courses that will be held throughout the year. WIST is part of the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, which is also home to the ABET-accredited Paper Science and Engineering Program.


Those in the paper making industry may already be familiar with WIST, which has been providing industry-related laboratory services, as well as educational courses, since 2010.

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point training schedule includes these short courses in 2016.
