In her marketing leadership role at Kraft Foods Group, Stacey R. Rychlewski '85 (food management) spearheaded the launch of one of Kraft's Foodservice Division's key innovations, the Kraft YES Pack, a flexible one-gallon salad dressing pouch. 
 
Not only has the Kraft YES Pack helped foodservice operators manage food costs and improve efficiencies in their operations, it also received numerous packaging and marketing awards, including the DuPont Silver Award for packaging reduction and innovation and the Food & Beverage Product Innovation Award from the National Restaurant Association. 
 
Rychlewski credits faculty members in the hospitality and service management program for inspiring her love of the food service industry, which she has been involved in for more than 25 years. Throughout her career, Rychlewski said she has never looked back. "I've always looked forward. You have to be passionate about what you do every day and focus on the future."
