During Food for Thought, a program designed to make meaningful connections between students and alumni, local alumni hosted a dinner for students at the Annenberg School. The night offered participants an excellent opportunity to establish new relationships-  small groups of students were paired with alumni with similar interests, such as major, interesting career, USC activity, and inspirational life path. This year's alumni included Albert Lopez (Vice President of Strategic Communications at Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc.), Vicki Lins (Chief Marketing Officer at Canoe Ventures), Janet Janjigian (Principal Partner at We Get It, Consulting), Kent Shockneck (Daily Anchor at CBS2-TV), Paul Vercammen (Senior Producer at CNN), and Jed Gould (Radio Personality at 106.7 KROQ-LA radio).
