Last week, our summer interns at UFP Industries and UFP Business School students took a deep dive into "Product Development: Creating Product Concepts that Click" at our Summer Series Lunch & Learn. The event was packed with innovation, inspiration, and delicious food! Thank you to Darin Piippo for sharing insights into the process that takes a product from concept to customer. Stay tuned for July's Lunch & Learn with Ben Buter. 

Workplace Wednesday! Our first-year student, Brennen, has sharpened his operations skills over the past six weeks in Auburndale, Florida. By applying his knowledge of Operations Management and learning techniques from the UFP Auburndale team at the plant, Brennen connected his courses to real-world applications. And you never know who you'll run into at the plant. Brennen connected with Austin (hat), an alum of the 2023 Business School class! 

Our second-year students, Tim (smiling) and Sam, had an incredible six-week field placement with UFP Packaging in Thornton, California. They committed themselves to learning from the best in operations and sales, taking their classroom knowledge to the next level! 

Field Placement Friday! Our second-year student, Luke, has gained valuable hands-on experience in Conway, South Carolina, for the past six weeks. Under the guidance of the experienced team of professionals at the "#288 Mighty Mules," Luke has been learning and implementing operational best practices. From drinking gallons of sweet tea to spending time with the team outside of work, Luke had a blast and even had some hair-raising fun while there! 

We are wrapping up the final week of field placement! Our second-year student, Zoee, has dedicated the past six weeks to honing her videography and photography skills with the UFP Construction Marketing team. While she was busy capturing photos of a brainstorming session, her field placement supervisor, Bruce Morin, turned the tables on her and captured a candid shot instead!

From coursework to real-world application, first-year student Leul has gained valuable plant operations experience over the past five weeks in Berlin, New Jersey. And it's not all work and no play! After a productive day at the plant, Leul had a blast golfing with the Regional Director of Operations, David Goldman, UFP Business School alum Reece Wigent, and ISSR Tyler Pohl. It's all about building connections and having fun along the way!

Field Placement Update! Our first-year student in Gordon, Pennsylvania, Grant, has been hard at work discovering the ins and outs of operations management. Thanks to Luke Hoak, Regional Director of Operations, and his UFP Gordon team, Grant has been learning and growing each week, even getting to help recruit at a job fair!
