Caitlin Suemnicht

BA, 2006, Sociology, UW-Madison

Sociology helps me understand the world around me, and on a smaller scale, helps me to better understand social issues and consider solutions to problems that exist in business and our community.

Caitlin Suemnicht is the Chief Executive Officer for Food Fight Restaurant Group.
