Pratt Raises $300,000 for Marc Rosen Scholarship Fund

On May 16, Pratt Institute welcomed 300 guests at its Art of Packaging Award Gala, an annual affair that celebrates excellence in packaging design. The event raised $300,000, which benefits the Marc Rosen Scholarship Fund for Packaging by Design at Pratt Institute and attracts leading companies and executives from the multi-billion-dollar cosmetics industry. The glamorous dinner marked 28 years of the Fund, which has helped raise more than $3.8 million for scholarships for graduate packaging design students at Pratt. 
 
The Art of Packaging Award is presented annually to a beauty industry company or individual that has excelled in the art form of package design. This year, Pratt honored Batallure Beauty chairman and co-founder Robin Burns McNeil and president, CEO, and co-founder Sam Ghusson, who accepted the Art of Packaging Award. Fashion designer Derek Lam introduced them.
