Community leader was instrumental in founding Behrend s plastics engineering technology program February 12, 2021
ERIE, Pa. Erie businessman Joe Prischak, a longtime friend of Penn State Behrend and a community leader who was instrumental in founding the college’s plastics engineering technology program, has been named to the Plastics Hall of Fame. An induction ceremony has been scheduled for May 16.
Membership in the Hall of Fame is the highest honor the Plastics Industry Association bestows upon an individual. New members are added every three years.
“Joe Prischak is a pioneer and a visionary who understood from the start how plastics would revolutionize the design and packaging of products we use every day,” Behrend Chancellor Ralph Ford said. “His legacy in the plastics industry, the Erie community and at Penn State Behrend will last for generations.”

Moundsville, West Virginia is an unassuming town located on the Ohio River. Itâs the epitome of a âclassicâ American town that was once home to a multitude of factories that have since left, leaving behind a struggling local economy. The town is characterized by a 2,200-year-old burial mound left behind by the Adena, a local hunter-gatherer nation that lived in Appalachia.Â
A documentary by the same name was recently directed and produced by John Miller and David Bernabo, a former Wall Street Journal correspondent and a Pittsburgh filmmaker, respectively. Itâs a narrative about the people that have been forgotten and the home they all share.Â
