Niedermyer, instructor of baking and pastry arts and culinary arts and hospitality department head.Representatives of Jones Dairy Farm, a 127-year-old family-owned-and-operated leader in all-natural breakfast sausage, visited campus Thursday to provide an educational session to students in hospitality-related majors and to recognize the 2016-17 recipient of the Jones Dairy Farm Culinary Scholarship, established by the company for Penn College students. The scholarship was awarded to Robert E. Wood, of Williamsport. Wood is a senior in the culinary arts and systems major and was selected for his active involvement in hospitality department events, many of which call for volunteers. During their visit, Joe Moore, territory sales manager for Jones Dairy Farm, and Kate Hunter, a food broker for Peak Sales & Marketing who earned degrees from Penn College in culinary arts technology and food and hospitality management in 2000, talked with students about the wide variety of food industry careers to which their degrees could lead. They also provided a sausage tasting and educated students about quality considerations in the making of sausage products.
