Recognize Two Outstanding KSU Baking Science Students
“What makes you memorable?” That was the question posed by Lisa Turano, Vice-President Legal of Turano Baking Company and the President of the Turano Foundation during her presentation at the 2016 Society of Bakery Women (SBW) Annual Dinner in Chicago on Saturday, February 27.
Over 60 attendees, both students and professionals enjoyed networking and dinner, before listening to Lisa speak about the importance of both developing and maintaining your own personal brand. The interactive talk was both informative and entertaining, with everyone being encouraged to embrace their ‘superhero alter-ego’.
For the first year in its history, thanks to the generous SBW sponsors, the SBW was able to award two $1000 scholarships at the ATBI Breakfast during the ASB Baking Tech Conference. This year’s winners were KSU seniors Marie Feldpausch and Lisa Owsley, who both should be congratulated on their hard work and dedication towards achieving their bakery science degrees.
