Food Science Student: “I just wanted to express my gratitude for all of the effort put into to making the Next Generation program such a success… I learned so much about the industry, and the wonderful people in it. It was clear that a lot of planning went into the event, and I appreciate everyone who gave their time and talents. Thank you!”

Baking & Pastry Faculty: “The tours provided just the right amount of time so we could ask questions and talk with the booth hosts without feeling rushed to move on. They were targeted perfectly to the various groups so I think that the interactions were very meaningful….The panel discussion during lunch was again a way for students to connect to their own future as seen through the eyes of their successful peers. Those on the panel were engaging, informative, and inspirational and the questions and answers very applicable and relevant. I saw lots of note-taking during this segment! I’m always personally inspired by these young professionals!”

Food Science Intern: “I wanted to thank you again for organizing such a phenomenal event! The entire experience was so beneficial and completely unlike anything that I have ever attended. We all truly appreciate your dedication which has molded the program into what it is today. I also really appreciate your time with introducing me to many industry professionals. I want to help many students obtain the same insights and opportunities we were granted.”
