The AATCC Herman and Myrtle Goldstein Graduate Student Paper Competition, held under the auspices of the Education Advisory Board, aims to further the goals and objectives of the Association through educational support of future textile professionals.
Held annually, the two-part competition asks textile-focused graduate students to write a paper on their original research, with the top four papers invited to present their research in person in front of a panel of industry experts.
The 2024 competition was held on November 12, 2024, in conjunction with the 2024 AATCC Fall Research Committee Meetings, with students representing NED University of Engineering and Technology, North Carolina State University, and the University of Georgia presenting.
