NACUFS 2012!!!

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY FOOD SERVICES

(blog started by Ariel, June 6, 2012)


Here we are! At Penn State and we're here to make the most of it! We are from all over the United States so it's been fun getting to know each other and becoming a team. This picture was taken the first week of the internship during a tour at the Nittany Arboretum which was unbelievably beautiful. 

We have a busy schedule for the next two months filled with working hands-on in food service production, visiting with managers and directors, taking tours of buildings and nearby festivities, and roaming around University Park. 

Throughout our time here, all of the interns will be taking time to add to this blog to give insight on what goes on during the Penn State NACUFS Internship of 2012. Prepared to be amazed :)





Everyobdy: Carla (Intern), Elise (Intern), Marianne (Director), Ariel (Intern), and Andrew (Intern)



It is so beautiful here. This is just a grass area in the middle of campus. Everything is so green! Growing up in Texas, I never knew that you could have grass so green without an intense sprinkler system!



This was taken at Sushi restaurant called Sakura. We went here to celebrate Carla's 22nd birthday! 


We are all over the campus getting to know the directors and managers of Penn State's food service systems. This picture was taken just after we met with the financial guru of all the magic, Richard Pierce. He gave us an amazing crash course on financial statements in about three hours. 

These are just a couple of pictures of a few things that we've done out of so many adventures. Besides this we have worked for a Happy Volley Conference for thousands of volley ball players, we've  been through a leadership training by the use of a native americen medicine wheel, we've been through a team building exercise out at a nearby park, we've been to a couple conferences with some pretty important people, and more. Like I said, it's just the beginning and yet, we've done so much. We are learning so much about foodservice and ourselves everyday.
