We are so excited to introduce this yearโs CAS graduation celebration speaker, Emily Darchuck!

As a food scientist and entrepreneur, Emily has transformed the spirits industry through sustainability and innovation, supporting dairy farmers, reducing food waste, and advancing a more circular food system.
