Hi all,

As we work in the logistics for the 2025 FST Banquet I was wondering if anybody in the FST Department has any suggestions for an invited speaker.  I can think of 2 people on top of my mind: Tessa Porter (from Sprinkk) and Chase Grove (successful alumni with a lot of experience in culinary arts).  I could think of some others, but I also want to make sure everybody can chip in.

I think it would be great if we bring somebody with a connection to UNL.  So, if you can think of anybody that would make a great speaker, please let me know before Monday April 21^st.  We need to secure the speaker ASAP!

In addition, I wanted to follow up on Sarah’s e-mail requesting volunteers to be in the organizing committee for the banquet.  This shouldn’t take too much of your time, and it should be fun!  Please let me know before April 21^st if you have some time to spare to help us organize the banquet.

Thanks!

Silvana
