Ryan N. Troiano, who earned a bachelor's degree in plastics and polymer engineering technology from Penn College in May, was recently featured as an industry "Rising Star" in a trade publication. Plastics News profiled Troiano, originally from Lake Ariel, employed as a title development and project engineer with Greiner Packaging Corp. in Pittston. "I became interested in the plastics industry after an open house at Penn College, when I saw all of the processing/lab equipment and heard about other students’ experiences," said Troiano, who was awarded multiple industry scholarships while at the college.
