  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE for MORE INFORMATION: Jeannie Houchins, M.A., R.D
    May 4, 2009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR MORE INFORMATION: Jeannie Houchins, M.A., R.D. Institute of Food Technologists 312-604-0231 [email protected] Manuel Castillo Honored by Institute of Food Technologists Chicago, IL - Manuel Castillo, Assistant Research Professor at the University of Kentucky, has been selected as the winner of the 2009 Samuel Cate Prescott Award by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), a nonprofit international society with 20,000 members working in food science, technology and related professions. The Samuel Cate Prescott Award is given yearly to an IFT member who has shown outstanding ability in research in some area of food science and technology. The award will be presented at IFT’s Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Anaheim, CA on June 6th 2009, and includes a $3,000 honorarium and a plaque from IFT. Castillo’s knowledge and understanding of milk coagulation as well as his expertise in the development of novel sensors and measuring devices has helped food industries to improve process control, production efficiency, and quality control. Additionally, Castillo has made contributions to milk/cheese processing and engineering including an optical sensor technology that predicts curd moisture content during syneresis. He developed a lab-scale milk coagulation tester that is able to accurately measure total milk-clotting activity of rennet following the International Dairy Federation standards and procedures. IFT recognizes the many accomplishments that individuals and organizations have made to advance the food science industry and to help ensure safe, affordable, and nutritious foods to the world. To honor these individuals and organizations, the IFT Awards Program was created.

    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.

  • Umass Cherry Bomb Ice Cream Goes Retail
    University of Massachusetts Department of Food Science Newsletter Volume 27, Number 2, 2015 Alumni Scholarships I want to start off by thanking everyone for their continued support of scholarships for our undergraduate and graduate students. This year we gave out the most scholarships ever including: 11 Alumni, 8 Buttrick, 3 Jack Francis, 3 Herbert Hultin and 1 Charlie and Mickey Feldberg Scholarship. In addition, we presented 5 Graduate Fellowships including the Peter Salmon and Stanley Charm Fellowships. Scholarships and fellowships totaled over $58,000. These scholarships are extremely important to our students to help with the ever increasing costs of college as well as to help the students build their resumes with these outstanding achievements. An often overlooked benefit of the scholarships is that the students can use our Departmental awards to help them secure additional scholarships. For example, students received over $20,000 in IFT Scholarships alone. Thanks very much for your generous contributions, Eric Decker UMass Cherry Bomb Ice Cream Goes Retail I hope you all enjoyed the UMass Alumni Magazine that highlighted our outstanding ice cream competition led by Sam Nugen and Amanda Kinchla . We are very excited to announce that Maple Valley Creamery has released the award winning “Cherry Bomb” Ice Cream to retail markets. Many thanks to Maple Valley who will donate half of the profits to sponsor future food science product development teams.

Twen- ty-six hundred fresh MIT graduates would soon join a group of alumni that included “the heads of General Motors, General Electric, Goodyear Tire, Eastman Kodak, Stone and Webster—and ten du Ponts.”1 While true, such praise was a little out of date, for Karl Compton, the institute’s presi- dent, had worked hard since his arrival in 1930 to wrest control of the insti- tute’s agenda away from industry and refurbish its reputation in funda- mental science. The Fortune piece nicely illustrated the school’s move to the cutting- edge, with scenes of sophisticated laboratories and modern instruments, such as a massive six-million-volt Van de Graaff generator. Above a picture of the institute’s imposing façade, as seen at night from the Charles River, the magazine arrayed portraits of Compton’s three deans: Vannevar Bush, dean of engineering; William Emerson, dean of architecture; and, between them, posed at his laboratory bench, Samuel Prescott, dean of science (fig.
