PSU Sanitation Shortcourse

Comments from students after attending the Penn State Sanitation Shortcourse:

"Greatly heightened my awareness of sanitation and microbiological issues in a food plant…highly recommended!"
"I like the course very much. It makes you think about things you tend to overlook, just how important little things are."
"Meeting people within the food industry and talking with them about some related issues that I think all of us are facing with in our facilities."
"The lab sessions were excellent. They gave practical experience and gave students the opportunity to try out new testing methods."
"Speakers were relaxed, had excellent communication skills, excellent knowledge of subject matter, and spoke like ‘regular people’."
"I enjoyed real life examples that specific speakers showed."
"The pictures depicted a clear situation (good or bad), especially in the cleaning technology presentation. The pest control and stainless steel visual aids were also excellent."
"Pictures and stories, I learned so much from pictures, show and tell, hands on."
"Very impressed with the amount of information that was given in a few days."
"Terrific format for small producers. I have been to several seminars presented but their seminars are usually slated toward larger companies. Speakers are friendly and able to relate to more common issues."
"Presentation content and general professional knowledge was excellent relative to companies at the highest level, yet you seem to care about the smaller companies and the issues which face them."
