The Food Marketing Fellows is an honors program for students with food industry interests and career aspirations. The purpose of the program is to give undergraduate students a focused perspective on the food industry.
Food Marketing Fellows
Activities
Fellows become part of a select group of students who participate in these one-of-a-kind activities:
Food Marketing Field Study Course: Each Fellow enrolls in a 1-credit course, AEM 4460. (Application at the bottom of the page)
Fall Visits and Activities: Throughout the fall semester, we will make a series of visits to local manufactures, producers and retailers for an up close view of their activates. Visits have included Wegmans HQ & Bakery, the Aldi distribution center, local wineries, the Fresh Direct distribution center and a Food Product Accelerator. In addition we may have virtual sessions with leaders in the food space around the country.
