CAFÉ Update April 17, 2023
17 April 2023We take our motto very seriously: “Teachers don’t teach what they don’t know.” And our mission statement is to link the foodservice industry with the foodservice classroom.
With that in mind, we design our programs and experiences to best utilize your time and to get the most of your professional development dollars!
Three Outstanding professionals will be a part of the Deans and Directors Retreat as well as the Leadership Conference.
Amrit Ahluwalia, Editor of EvoLLution, Modern Campus will start the Dean & Directors Retreat with his broad view and suggestions in the topics of Recruitment and Retention—all issues we hear a great deal about recently.
EvoLLution’s Mission Statement: To unite the lifelong learning community to provoke ideas, re-imagine education, inspire collaboration and create action to lead the transformative change in higher education.
The keynoter for the Industry Outreach Day is Dan Kurzrock with ReGrained & Upcycled Food Association.
Through research, strategy, networking, and policy advocacy, Upcycled Food Association is building a food system in which all food is elevated to its highest and best use. UFA is comprised of Members and Associate Members from around the world.
Our keynoter is passionate about what has been done and what can be done to ensure the best use of food in the future.
The keynoter for our Educational Best Practices Day is Dr. Fred Mayo. As many of you know, Dr. Mayo has long been guiding and leading educators at all levels to look at things differently and consider how the teaching profession is changing.
“Teaching Teachers to Teach” is his offering to you in 2023!
On the Industry Outreach Day, we will have break out sessions hosted by chefs and commodity boards sharing industry’s view of what the trends are and how you can better prepare your students for future menus and kitchens!
On the Educational Best Practices Day your peers will present some unique approaches to the culinary classrooms and will share what has been successful and what that takes.
We hope you will join us June 21-23 in Charleston!
