IST alumnus builds a brand as Pittsburgh food influencer

Alex Goodstein, who graduated from the College of Information Sciences and Technology in 2009, has a palate-pleasing side hustle as a Pittsburgh-area food influencer. He will share his food influence with the Penn State community during a live cooking session as part of the Penn State Cooking Classic — a four-week cooking event series this spring sponsored by the Penn State college and campus alumni societies — at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 2, on Zoom.
