Graduate Students in the department put on FST Field Day this past weekend! It was a time for grad students to kick back and get out of the lab to enjoy some sun and fun.

They played some traditional field day games and had some delicious grilled burgers and snacks after.

We have a great group of graduate students, and we love to see them foster a fun and engaging community with their peers.

They look forward to continuing on this new annual tradition!

Ten students from the Sabin-Schellenberg Profession Technical Center Culinary Arts club in Portland recently got a taste of the future of food manufacturing, thanks to a special collaboration with the OSU Food Innovation Center (FIC). The FIC hosted an interactive workshop aimed at introducing young chefs to the science and creativity behind dairy-based products. During the workshop, students participated in hands-on activities including making and evaluating ice cream, sensory demonstrations, and pizza-making exercises that incorporated discussions around the chemistry of cheese. The session emphasized how
scientific principles intersect with culinary creativity, giving students practical insights into product development and food innovation. The workshop was funded by a sub-award from the USDA Dairy Business Innovation Initiative project, Pacific Coast Coalition, led by Fresno State University. This effort that includes California, Oregon and Washington, is intended to enable innovation in the dairy industry including fueling a robust talent
pipeline. Students left the workshop with not only new skills and techniques but also a deeper appreciation for the role of science in the foods they enjoy every day. The collaboration highlights the potential of partnerships between OSU and K-12 educational programs in cultivating future talent in the food industry.

This year we gave away FST beaver keychains and Beaver Classic store gift tokens to the people who could guess how many maraschino cherries were in the jar!
