Food Marketing Fellows
The Food Marketing Fellows Program is a selective, immersive experience for 12–14 students. Fellows participate in domestic field visits, executive interactions, and international study trips—recently including Peru (2026), Greece (2025), and New Zealand (2024).
“The Food Marketing Fellows program is more than just an opportunity for students to learn about the food industry, it is a transformative experience that fosters deep connections, intellectual curiosity and a lifelong sense of community.”
