Utz Brands CEO Howard Friedman '92 gives students an inside look at Utz, the snack powerhouse
As part of the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy, 40 Dickinson students recently took a hands-on tour of Utz Brands plant in Hanover, Pa. The visit was led by Utz CEO Howard Friedman '92, and it featured a “from the field to the shelf” experience that introduced students to the journey of transforming harvested potatoes into the iconic Utz potato chips available nationwide.
Students had the chance to see cutting-edge technologies, meet industry professionals and gain insight into career opportunities in the huge consumer packaged-goods sector of the food industry.
This unique experience was made possible through the Burgess Institute, which aims to connect students with industry professionals and create opportunities for them to explore potential career paths. The trip also highlights the importance of experiential learning and the power of industry partnerships in preparing students for success after graduation.
