Today we visited FoodCloud. It was great to hear about how FoodCloud operates, and it was very interesting that they had such close ties to Pittsburgh. They showcased their connection to 412 Food Rescue, which is centered in Pittsburgh. FoodCloud modeled some of their business after them, which was very fascinating to learn about. From…

Today we listened to Rob Cullen. Rob spoke to us about networking. This speech included information on how to network, what networking is, and differences between online and in-person networking.
