The Iowa Pork Producers Association has welcomed two Iowa State University students as summer interns. Alley Odland of Webster City, Iowa, will gain hands-on experience in promotions and communications, while Josh Wiley of Walker, Iowa, will gain hands-on experience in outreach and legislative engagement as part of IPPA’s efforts to support future leaders in the pork industry.
Odland, a junior majoring in animal science with a swine certificate, is serving as the promotions and outreach intern. Throughout the summer, she will assist with county pork promotions, help coordinate the Bacon Buddies program, and contribute to IPPA’s presence at summer grilling events across the state.
Wiley, also a junior in animal science, is serving as IPPA’s legislative intern. His internship begins with a five-week stay in Washington, D.C., where he is working closely with lawmakers and policy advisors.
