Beans, Barges and Baseball

Wednesday, September 25, 2019 from 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Tour showcases CHS grain and fertilizer terminals linking a vast ag supply chain within a stone’s throw of the beautiful CHS Field, home of the St. Paul Saints baseball team. You’ll get boots and bats on the ground behind-the-scenes tours at each stop, including the backstory on how the Saints developed their “Fun is Good” brand, which includes free haircuts in the stands, a nun giving massages, and the ever popular, “name the ball pig” contest. Think Mackleboar, Kim Lardashian, Piggy Smalls, and Boarack Obama. Learn how grain goes south, fertilizer moves north, and how the hometown team hustles their way to brand loyalty and championship seasons in the newly invigorated St. Paul Lowertown district near the Mississippi River. This tour has it all: supply chain logistics, branding, event and sports management, community engagement and historic preservation all in one jam-packed, fun-filled morning. Dress for the weather, including sturdy shoes (no open toes) for walking. Additional registration required. Limited seating available.

Student & Young Professional Breakfast Workshop

Critical Skills for Continued Success for the Job
Thursday, September 26, 2019 from 7:30 - 8:30 AM

In this digitized age, important interpersonal skills such as communication, teamwork, and active listening are being left by the wayside in favor of technical skills. While these specialized skills gained from your education and training will get you the interview, the aforementioned people skills are more imperative to acquire and retain a job. This session will explore learning and practice the critical skills needed to handle important conversations, respond in emotional or difficult situations, and build a successful career.
