The $10 million donation is the largest investment the university's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, or CANR, had ever received, according to the press release.

“We are grateful to Amcor for its recognition of MSU’s leadership in packaging education and our commitment to sustainable innovations," President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., said in the press release. "Together, we will ensure that the industry remains well equipped with global talent and leadership to meet the challenges of providing packaging that keeps food and medicines safe while furthering the circular economy."

According to the release, the donation is part of Amcor's "commitment to supporting the next generation of responsible packaging talent." The funding will be used to upgrade the facility and offer more modern technology and devices.
