Sodexo and NUFP Partnership

"Through our work with more than two million students every day in North America, we know firsthand that students hold the promise for the future of our nation and our world," said Tom Post, president of Sodexo campus services. "We are firmly committed to providing opportunities for the youth of America, so their chances of competing for the best jobs in the global marketplace are high, and that they are well positioned for success."

"Sodexo, like many companies, is faced with the challenges of recruiting, hiring, developing and promoting a workforce that can sustain and grow our business, and meet the needs of a demographically changing population.  To meet these challenges head on, we invest in a diverse workforce by supporting higher education through many organizations, including NASPA.  Sodexo supports student scholarships because focusing on education is the right thing to do for students, but it's also important for the future success of the global economy."
