Family Vacation II

Well, just one more family vacation stands between me and the 38,000 students who will descend upon Purdue to settle in for the fall semester. A most favorite time of the year around here that includes the smell of brats in the air on Saturday morning tailgate parties ahead of Boilermaker home games.

The blog will continue to be updated each weekday upon my return on August 17th. In the meantime check out "Extra! Extra!" ...." for today's news and views important to culinary arts and hospitality educators that is updated every day, seven days a week.

It is also time to put on your thinking cap and come up with what you would like to propose for the FELC Summit February 2010. Details are available and will continue to be added to our website under Annual Summit tab at http://www.fooded.org/. We are going to be looking for educators to submit refereeed and non-refereed proposals to do workshops, roundtables, poster sessions, and standup presentations around the topic of culinary and hospitality math. We all seem to find that students struggle with classes or assignments that have to do with math so looking for all you great educators out there who have learned to crack the math code so students acquire this absolutely critical skill.
