As the school year ends, we’d like to highlight our graduating interns and all their impressive accomplishments. It’s a privilege to work with such talented students and be a resource for them as they explore their career options. To our interns, we’d like to say congratulations and thank you for choosing to work with us. Your futures are bright!

Join us as we say congratulations to the following graduating interns:

Catherine Thompson | Sustainability Intern at the University of Minnesota

As the sustainability intern at the University of Minnesota, Catherine helped educate and inform her fellow students about environmental best practices. She led a plate waste study over three months that was projected to decrease food waste in the dining halls by 15%. She exceeded her goals by decreasing plate waste by 18% instead.

Jose Perez Vela | Sustainability Intern at the University of Texas at Arlington

During his internship, Jose expanded his skillset in sustainability and marketing and developed several projects for his portfolio. He is grateful for his team, who helped push him out of his comfort zone and encouraged his growth. We’re excited to work with him again at the University of Pittsburgh as the Sustainability and Community Partnership Coordinator!

Samantha Rodriguez | Marketing Intern at Radford University

Samantha used her internship to develop hands-on experience with marketing and connect more with her university leaders. She is an innovative, forward-thinking marketer with a lot of big ideas for her campus dining program. The team at Radford University is excited to welcome Samantha as our new marketing manager!

Deepakshi Choudhary | Marketing Intern at the University of Illinois at Chicago

Deepakshi built many valuable career connections during her internship and focused on learning, growing, and exchanging information with her peers. She expressed thanks to her fellow associates, who she said were a much-needed guidance system. She impressed her team by succeeding in her internship while also studying for her second master’s degree.

Kameron Ladia | Marketing Intern at Lamar University

Kameron learned many hard and soft skills from his team, including the basics of developing and implementing a marketing plan, how to use Canva to create social media posts, and how to work with Sprout Social. He also expanded his network by connecting with our senior director, catering director, and chefs. We’d also like to thank Kameron for his impressive work on his meal plan brochure, which he submitted to our meal plan contest.

Adam Cooper | Marketing Intern at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis

Adam Cooper explored his campus community during his internship and connected with fellow students, teachers, and associates. He also tapped into his creative side by handling marketing and communications tasks for his team, who deeply appreciated all his hard work. His favorite thing about his internship was being able to work comfortably and creatively.

We’d like to also recognize all of our Student Success interns that have graduated this year.
