Marketing Fellows Brochure
 The
Food Marketing Fellows is an honors program for students with food industry interests and career aspirations.
The purpose of the program, which is cosponsored by Tri-land Properties, is to give undergraduate students
entering their junior and senior year and a small number of graduate students an intimate, focused
perspective of the food industry.
Activities 
Food Marketing Fellows become part of a select group of students who participate in these one-of-a-kind activities:
Food Marketing Colloquia: Each Fellow enrolls in two,
1-credit courses (AEM
4460 and AEM 4470) during
their senior year. Food
industry executives lead
class discussions and students
participate in a research
project on a timely issue
facing the food industry.
Field Trips: Fellows
participate in field trips
to food companies and serve
as ushers at the Food
Marketing Institute's Supermarket Industry Convention held in early May.
International Study Trip: Each January the Food Marketing
Fellows travel abroad to
study the business and marketing
strategies of various international
food and consumer product
companies. Recent destinations
have included England, Italy, the
Netherlands, Japan, and
Ireland. Fellows share a
portion of the trip expenses.
Summer Internships: An internship with a food company between
the junior and senior years
is encouraged. Faculty assist
with the placement process,
if necessary.
How to Apply
If you are a sophomore, junior or a graduate student and have an interest in the food industry, you are encouraged to apply. New Fellows are accepted in alternate years with the next class recruitment in 2010. The deadline for submissions is in February 2010.
