CNJIFT Trivia & Networking Night
Wednesday, September 16 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT
Join CNJIFT at the Rutgers Club for an evening of friendly competition, meaningful conversations, and valuable connections with the Central New Jersey food science community.
Whether you’re a Rutgers student exploring career opportunities, an alumnus reconnecting with fellow Scarlet Knights, or an industry professional looking to expand your network, this event offers something for everyone. Team up for a fun-filled trivia challenge, meet food scientists from across academia and industry, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere designed to foster new relationships and strengthen existing ones.
Come test your knowledge, share ideas, and connect with colleagues—old and new. You don’t need to be a trivia expert to participate—just bring your curiosity, your team spirit, and your passion for food science.
