Internship

Company Name: Mars, Inc.

Position: MBA Student Fellow

Location: Davis, CA

Fun fact: My team worked with Mars, Inc., to set the stage for a proactive food safety culture in the food industry. The internship let all of us apply what we had learned so far in school, and gave us insight into high-level strategic planning, not to mention a tour of Mars’ pet food productions facility in Nevada. Working with Mars was a great experience, and we’re excited to see what will happen in the future!
