Georgia-Pacific named 2026 Soar Higher Partner

For championing technical education, giving back to the community, and advancing the mission of NWTC, Georgia-Pacific was recently honored with the College’s 2026 Soar Higher Partner Award.  

“The partnership between Georgia-Pacific and NWTC has been a great one. It’s endured for a long time,” said Mike Maciejewski, who manages the paper product manufacturer’s maintenance and reliability team in Green Bay.

“Very grateful for all the people here at NWTC and at Georgia-Pacific that have the common interests of helping individuals succeed, helping this community succeed,” he added. “Looking forward to many, many more years of working together to improve on both ends and helping Green Bay, Northeast Wisconsin stay a great place to both live and work.”
