Skylar Young \u201915 with Fabri-Kal Marketing Manager Emily Ewing in Washington, D.C.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Skylar Young \u201915<\/strong> is a policy intern working a summer internship in Washington, D.C. with Chris Adamo \u201999<\/strong>, staff director for the United States Senate Committee on Agriculture, Forestry & Nutrition. Skylar\u2019s internship was arranged through K\u2019s Center for Career and Professional Development<\/a> (CCPD). She recently sent this report to CCPD Director Joan Hawxhurst<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to send you and the rest of the CCPD department a thank you. Today, I had the amazing opportunity to hear Justice Elana Kagan speak to a select number of interns and then had lunch with Senator Debbie Stabenow in the Senate Dining Room.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the second day of my internship, the Senate Agriculture Committee held a hearing entitled \u201cGrow it Here, Make it Here: Creating Jobs through Bio-Based Manufacturing.\u201d The exhibition after the hearing demonstrated how bio-based products revitalize American manufacturing, and how it creates jobs for the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cChairwoman Sen. Debbie Stabenow from Michigan recognizes the integral connection between agriculture and manufacturing. Moreover, the Energy Title in the 2014 Farm Bill expanded eligible end-products to include renewable chemicals sources from biomass feedstock in the Bio-refinery Assistance Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I was perusing the exhibition to see all of the companies, I came across Fabri-Kal, a Kalamazoo-based company! I immediately went up to the spokeswoman and told her I went to Kalamazoo College.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere I was interning at the Senate on Capitol Hill, for not even a week, and I cannot seem to escape Kalamazoo!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me feel proud to see a business from the city being represented, especially since it was representing one of the thirty innovators across the country that was leading in bio-based manufacturing. Fabri-Kal is a foodservice packaging supplier that manufactures packaging using 100% bio-based content from plant material. The company earned the USDA Certified Bio-based Product Label.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese experiences are simply amazing, and I would not be here without the Kalamazoo College Center for Career and Professional Development.”<\/p>\n
