Wow, I can't believe that my eight weeks at Penn State has come to an end. For our final project, we were in charge of planning and executing a formal luncheon for everyone involved in the internship program. This included everything from the meal to the colors of the linens. Although this seemed like a daunting task at first, with the help of Maria, Chef Mark, and our mentors, the luncheon went off without a hitch! The theme we chose for the luncheon was "A Midsummer Breeze". For the appetizer, we served a yogurt berry parfait with pretzels. The main entree was a Grilled Summer Salad, which consisted of a spring lettuce mix with blueberries, grilled pineapple, walnuts, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, and a protein of choice, drizzled with balsamic dressing and served with flatbread. Then for dessert, we were able to work with the bakery to create a milk, dark, and white chocolate trifle. All of the food ended up being AMAZING!!

Before leaving, our internship coordinator, Maria, graciously invited us to her home for a delicious barbecue. It was great to relax for a day and meet her whole family! I am so thankful for the time I got to spend at Penn State with the most incredible staff, internship director, and friends I could have ever hoped for. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life and one I will surely never forget!
