MCC Daily Tribune

Scholars' Day Preview

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND ATTEND MCC SCHOLARS' DAY 2019

I hope you enjoyed Anna Chyrywaty's abstract in Friday's tribune, Language Intergroup Bias Through the Lens of Learning Disabled Inclusive and Exclusive Classrooms? Have you marked your calendar yet for the day you can soak up the full presentation?

That day is Tuesday, May 7th, 2019. All members of the MCC community are urged to spend some time in building 12 on the Brighton campus exploring the insights and achievements shared by students and faculty in poster, oral presentation, and debate formats. (The debate will be in building 3's atrium.)

No matter what your interests and experience, you are guaranteed to find something fascinating and come away inspired. You have the power to add meaning to the endeavors of these hard-working scholars by showing your interest in their work.

Another one of the upcoming presentations is described below. Watch for additional examples from other disciplines in future announcements.

Farm to Table: Reality or Illusion

Presenter: Kirsilyn C. Harris

Sponsor: Professor Jesse M. Redlo (Hospitality)

In this presentation, the model of a farm-to-table establishment will be discussed and a critical analysis of farm-to-table practices will be presented. The analysis will focus on how efficient the farm-to-table model is for restaurants, culminating in suggestions for increasing the efficiency of the practice. The information for the analysis will be derived from multiple interviews with industry professionals, as well as a comprehensive review of related literature. To begin the definitions of various commonplace "buzzword" concepts will be presented including: locality, seasonality, and farm-to-table. For the purposes of this presentation the focus will be on the effects of seasonality, naturally occurring local resources, and the feasibility of alternative methods of production on the modern food service establishment. The presentation will conclude with examination of a current farm-to-table restaurant menu and comparison to an imagined representation of a menu based on the aforementioned restrictions and impositions in a similar setting.
