Our Talent Acquisition team has suggested that we recruit in the fall to get the best students for our internships. Offers will be extended as we meet qualified applicants. Therefore, we encourage students to apply early while the maximum number of internships are available.

We will be on-campus to present on our 2023 internship opportunities at the Food and Fermentation Science Club meeting on November 9th. That event will be held in the Wiegand Hall Auditorium (115) from 5-6pm. I’ve attached a flyer for that event. Please share this with your students.  We will follow-up with Meet & Greets on November 10th in Wiegand Hall. Folks interested in learning more about our internships and/or Gallo opportunities in general can sign up to meet with our on-campus recruiting team. Sign-ups can be made through Calendly or please contact Deborah Gould (Deborah.Gould@oregonstate.edu). The Food Science and Technology Department has graciously provided rooms for these events, yet we hope to see students from various majors.

Please let me know if you or the students have questions. 

Thank you!
