Sprouts recently hosted a group of students with the Fowler Scholars program – a cohort of 19 students ranging from freshmen through seniors within the Fowler College of Business at San Diego State University. Their mission is to develop ethical business leaders through hands-on experiences and mentorship opportunities.
Every Fowler Scholar engages in a year-long, “real-world” project, working with local businesses to solve current business challenges and opportunities. The program currently has two project teams working with Sprouts covering foot traffic and basket ring.
Hilda Doushgounian, Regional Vice President, spent the day on campus at San Diego State University with students and led a discussion on corporate culture and coaching.
Students in the Fowler Scholars program took a trip to the Support Office in Phoenix, AZ to meet with Alisa Gmelich, Chief Marketing Officer, Marissa Thompson, Vice President Marketing, and Bryan Zavala, Senior Manager Brand Marketing. The Sprouts team shared with the scholars how our values play a role in every business decision and is what makes our stores different from all the rest! Gaining this insight will help the scholars with their year-long projects to analyze current business opportunities.
