In the Spotlight: Margaret Joyce - Inspiring Others to Pursue "Dream" Careers

For TAPPI member Margaret Joyce, Ph.D., constantly being on the go is just one satisfying part of a dream career she has been passionate about since her first day of classes at North Carolina State University (NCSU).

And passionate she is... In addition to her regular teaching schedule at Western Michigan University (WMU) where she serves as a full professor in the Department of Chemical and Paper Engineering, she also teaches continuing education offerings in the summer and is faculty adviser for WMU's Society of Women Engineers student chapter. A member since 1992, she serves on a number of TAPPI committees and divisions, as well as a TAPPI Journal reviewer and short course instructor. Recognized over the years with multiple awards for her contributions to the field, she exudes enthusiasm for the industry, which she describes as one "that produces products from a renewable resource, is diverse in its use, and of great importance to the U.S. economy."
