UC Davis and Mickey Mouse a Good Pair in Food Expo

Friday December 17, 2010

Five UC Davis students came out on top this past week at this year's Institute of Food Technologists meeting and food expo in Chicago, Illinois. With the help of its great sponsor Disney, this year's event was able to observe some great snack ideas for children under the age of 12. The team of five UC Davis students: Chereen Leong, Joesph Alexandrouj, Anna Coroselli, Christina Ramsay, and Robert Schwarz, will have a chance to have their creation-- Mickey's Pot Pies-- sold in grocery stores around the nation. Complete with a blend of fruits and vegetables in a 100 % white whole-wheat crust, Mickey Pot Pies maybe in your local grocery stores soon-- so keep a look out!

Congratulations to the team again on a job well done! Go Ags!

Gearing up for the holidays, CalSAE style

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

With the holidays approaching quickly, UC Davis Conference and Events Services has a lot to be excited for. We get an early holiday treat by way of the CalSAE Seasonal Spectacular. Taking place on Wednesday, December 8th at the Sacramento Convention Center, the event includes a networking luncheon in addition to the largest yearly association industry trade show on the West Coast. We will be showcasing UC Davis and the Hyatt Place at UC Davis and know that gaining all these valuable insights and contacts is more than Santa could have ever brought us! If you stop by, we'll be sure to save a goodie bag for you and educate you on everything UC Davis has to offer.

When we go to tradeshows like this, the best part is getting to know new people and trying to cater their needs to what we have to offer. We usually have lots of success with that, and the largest industry trade show on the west coast will be sure to provide us with this opportunity. Especially after attending the UC Systemwide Conferences, Events and Catering Summit at UC Riverside - a truly great event - we are gearing up for what is sure to be quite the spectacular time (no pun intended).
