course,” said Arun Kilara, pro
fessor of food science and direc
tor of the ice cream program at
Penn State.
The program will be present
ed by Ed Marks, a consultant for
the ice cream industry based in
Lancaster. Mark says the semi

business - product quality and
management expertise.
“The great American dream
is to own your own business, and
many people have a fantasy of
opening an ice cream shop as
part of that dream,” Marks said.
“We try to bring some reality
into that fantasy by showing
these entrepreneurs that a
dream can be accomplished, but
it is a lot of hard work.”
The seminar also will feature
other experts on various aspects
of small-business retailing.
