Davis Student Shares Experience at Mars Symposium
UC Davis School of Management MBA student Jennifer Hebets shared her experience at the Mars Symposium held at UC Davis Jan. 14, 2015. The UC Davis Innovation Institute for Food and Health was launched during this symposium. The symposium was jointly organized with Davis and Mars, Incorporated in collaboration with the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
The Innovation Institute for Food and Health was announced in September 2014. The idea was supported by a pledge of $40 million from Mars and $20 million from UC Davis over 10 years. The institute will advance new discoveries in sustainable food, agriculture and health, not just in the laboratory but, at all steps along the way to commercial use.
