Chef Martinez is set to create an unforgettable dining experience, infusing his Louisiana heritage into the gourmet dishes served at Benchmark, located at 麻豆直播鈥檚 Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

The Signature Chef Series is a unique culinary event that brings globally renowned chefs to 麻豆直播. Since 2014, the series has provided a platform for chefs from around the world to showcase their talents, work alongside students, and offer guests a one-of-a-kind dining experience and an opportunity to enjoy gourmet dishes in an immersive setting.

鈥淥ur Signature Chef Series is more than just a dinner, it鈥檚 an experience,鈥� said Craig Youdale, Dean of 麻豆直播鈥檚 Culinary, Tourism and Beverage Studies. 鈥淭he goal is to create an atmosphere that reflect the origins of our world class guest chefs and offer an opportunity for our students and staff to connect with leading professionals in the industry.

“I feel honoured to be back on 麻豆直播鈥檚 campus,” said Chef Martinez, who previously participated in 麻豆直播鈥檚 Craft Beer and BBQ Festival as a Barbecue Guest Chef. “The welcome and collaboration from the students and instructors is incredible. I am inspired to bring the team at 麻豆直播 a proper Louisiana feast that will bring a little Mardi Gras and a little bit of ‘Laissez les bon temps rouler.'”

Chef Martinez began his culinary career in New Orleans, where he honed his skills as one of the youngest non-European sous chefs at Arnaud’s restaurant. His career with Marriott has taken him from the JW Desert Springs Marriott in Palm Desert, California, to the Hilton Head Marriott Beach and Golf Resort in South Carolina, and finally to the New Orleans Marriott as Executive Sous Chef. At the New Orleans Marriott, he promoted the city’s food and culture on national TV shows like Good Morning America and Martha Stewart Live.

He has also contributed to enhancing the food and beverage experience for critical sales site visits and has fostered an inclusive environment for all teams.

Raised in South Louisiana with grandparents from Spain and France, Chef Martinez鈥檚 cooking style, which he describes as 鈥渘aturally New Orleans,鈥� reflects his deep appreciation for the culture and heritage that shaped him.

The post Join renowned Chef Eric Martinez for an authentic Louisiana culinary experience at 麻豆直播鈥檚 Signature Chef Series appeared first on 麻豆直播.

Developed in partnership with three other colleges (, , and ), three provincial craft beverage associations (, , and ); and 17 brewery partners, the program was funded with $1,789,330 over two years by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) through the Applied Research and Technology Partnership (ARTP) program.

The Canadian Craft Brewery Quality Program is designed to support breweries of all sizes in maintaining high standards. It offers a solution that is approachable, can be customized for each brewery, allows for adaptability in a constantly changing regulatory environment, and most importantly, was developed in collaboration with industry experts and craft brewers themselves. The program also provides a series of building blocks and tools that brewers can use to develop and implement their own customized Quality Management System, or QMS. These resources include an action list, brewery process flow chart, gap assessment, quality guidelines, forms, and standard operating procedures.

鈥淭hrough ongoing communication with our industry partners, our team has listened and clearly understands that one of the ways we can help most is by taking the lead in developing a comprehensive quality program that can be adopted by industry; one that is developed by impartial third-party experts, and that is designed in a manner that can be owned and administered by the industry itself,鈥� said Lyndon Ashton, 麻豆直播鈥檚 Associate Director, Economic Development and Planning, Research and Innovation. 鈥淭his program represents a vital step forward that will drive capacity building at all levels within the operation resulting in tangible impacts that will inevitably translate into increased consumer confidence and market growth.鈥�

To celebrate the success of this program, featuring each college partner and some of their respective breweries was developed to showcase how they participated in the creation of the program. In addition, a summary video highlighting the overall program and how it will impact breweries and provincial associations was developed.

To test the program out, each project team at the respective college worked with craft breweries in their communities. They started with initial gap assessments, drafted their customized programs, and then breweries had six to nine months for implementation, with ongoing support from the colleges.

As a result of the program, craft breweries are experiencing increased efficiencies, cost savings, and improved quality and consistency. Staff training has been greatly simplified now that they have defined systems and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and they are well positioned for future regulatory changes and growth.

Back in 2018, 麻豆直播鈥檚 Food and Beverage Innovation Centre undertook an Ontario Craft Brewery Quality Review, examining 173 craft beers from 27 styles at two-points-in-time, to evaluate basic analytics and quality. The results highlighted the need for in-place quality programming at craft breweries. Making a consistent high-quality beer is more important than ever in this climate of increasing inflationary and supply chain cost issues especially for smaller-scale craft breweries.

Many students from academic programs worked as Research Assistants alongside these partners and received valuable work-integrated learning and capacity building for their future careers. For example, at 麻豆直播, students from the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management Program and School of Business and Management worked on this project. Ultimately, the intellectual property has been assigned to each provincial association and they will decide how to make the program available, so it is best suited for their brew members. Craft breweries are encouraged to reach out to their association to see how they can implement this program in their business.

麻豆直播 has a full-time enrolment of more than 10,000 students from over 100 countries, who study in 130 diploma, certificate and bachelor degree programs at specialized campuses in Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake. 麻豆直播 is also involved in educational projects and partnerships around the world and is ranked Canada鈥檚 No.1 research college. Learn more at niagaracollege.ca.

The post Uniquely 麻豆直播: 麻豆直播鈥檚 brand gets a refresh appeared first on 麻豆直播.

On September 4, the College will welcome more than 10,000 new and returning students to its campuses in Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake. This year marks the largest increase in domestic enrolments since 2019. This is due in part to the new Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree program launching in September and the associated pre-health streams. Ambitious plans will make it a year of growth and renewal at the College.

“Every fall, we look forward to welcoming new and returning students from across Canada and around the globe,” said 麻豆直播 President Sean Kennedy. “With the support of our dedicated faculty, staff and 麻豆直播 Student Administrative Council (麻豆直播SAC), we’ll kick off this new academic year with tremendous momentum so our students have an exceptional start to their college experience.”

For many, that experience will start on Labour Day weekend, when hundreds of students will move into campus residences.

Between Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, a full complement of 232 students will move into residence at the Welland Campus, while between 200 and 218 students (full capacity) will move into residence at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Residence Life Staff from the College will be on hand to help students get settled into their home-away-from home on campus.

Fall Orientation

罢丑别听听补苍诲听Student Engagement聽departments and聽聽have been preparing all summer for the start of classes on Sept. 4, beginning with virtual pre-orientation sessions throughout the month of August, where students could get information about timetable selection, student services and communications tools.

In the summer, 麻豆直播 employees travelled to India to host in-person pre-departure sessions for incoming Fall semester students. Pre-departure sessions were also offered virtually for international students, providing them with an opportunity to gather information to prepare themselves for their studies at 麻豆直播 and life in Canada. Between the two sessions, more than 1,300 students participated.

During KickSTART Prep Week, Aug. 19-30, students had a chance to tour their campus, pick up their ID card, and visit the Bookstore ahead of the start of the Fall semester.

“This is one of the most exciting and inspiring times of the year: The halls are full of people pursuing their dreams and greatest aspirations, and knowing we can play a huge part in that journey is simply incredible,” said 麻豆直播SAC President Dipal Patel. “September is often – for many students – their first-time experiencing college life. This comes with so many firsts鈥� and we like to think of ourselves as a student’s best friend on campus helping them through all those firsts.”

Orientation Day will take place on Sept. 3 at the Welland and Daniel J. Patterson Campuses. Program Information Sessions and Co-op Information Sessions for every program have been scheduled and will provide an opportunity for students to meet faculty and classmates from their program, review their courses, and ask questions. All sessions are listed on 麻豆直播’s聽Orientation website. Information booths for international students will be set up at both campuses and at the 麻豆直播SAC Carnival in Welland.

Weeks of social events will fill the month of September in collaboration between the Athletics and Student Engagement department, International Division and聽.

Among this year’s Orientation activities:

• 麻豆直播SAC Carnival聽(Welland): This flagship event is back on Sept. 3 from 2 to 7 p.m. on the front field at the Welland Campus and will feature a Ferris wheel, carnival rides, inflatables, a vendor fair, free food for students and more. Free, direct shuttles will run from the Daniel J. Patterson Campus to the Welland Campus at 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
• 麻豆直播 Knights Soccer Home Opener聽(off-campus): The season officially begins for the Knights Women’s and Men’s soccer teams on Sept. 6 at Youngs Sportsplex in Welland. Students can cheer on the women’s team starting at 6 p.m. and the men’s team at 8 p.m.;
• Niagara Falls Boat Trip聽(off-campus): Students can see Niagara Falls up close and personal on a Niagara City Cruise ride (Sept. 7, all day);

  International Coffee Corners: Two are scheduled at each Campus on Sept. 17 and 19 – one with information about fraud prevention, and the other focusing on Library Services for Academic Success.

A full list of events for September and beyond is available on the Orientation聽social events calendar.

What’s new at 麻豆直播

As the Fall semester kicks off, students can look forward to working in expanded academic and student gathering spaces; a number of revitalization projects to renovate and improve 麻豆直播’s campuses will continue throughout the year. This includes renovations to classrooms and student gathering spaces, as well as expansions to academic labs including, hair styling, renewable energy program, and more.

September also marks the start of the College’s new Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree program. With an inaugural intake of 45 students, the program was introduced to expand options for students in nursing education and help meet the urgent demand for more registered nurses in Niagara and beyond.

The program will have a strong clinical focus supported by state-of-the-art simulation labs and placement partnerships. Combining theory and practice, the BScN program will prepare students for careers in the nursing field or further study at the graduate level. It was designed with an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusivity, and holistic care for aging adults, young children, young families and underserved populations, including those living in rural areas and those impacted by mental health and chronic health challenges.

Seasoned Broadcasting 鈥� Radio, Television and Film (BRTF) alumni Carter Hendriks (2022), Carter Vahrmeyer (2019), Gabriel Klassen (2017) and Jon Kitiwano (2019) have rejoined their alma mater to lead a team of current BRTF students and other alumni through an intense production week along the Royal Canadian Henley Rowing Course.

鈥淭he challenge with rowing is that it鈥檚 the biggest field of play, but we have a pretty adventurous plan on how we鈥檙e going to cover it,鈥� said VandenBerg, program coordinator and industry expert. 鈥淲ith basketball and hockey being played within a court or rink, all of your broadcasting equipment is within reach. With rowing, you have to take a boat to the start line, a car or a boat to the finish line 鈥� so you have to be creative and well planned.鈥�

The 24-person broadcasting team is operating 18 cameras strategically placed along the 2,000 meter course, including eleven robotic cameras and one at the start line mounted in the new Aligner Hut, built by students in 麻豆直播鈥檚 Carpentry and Renovation Technician program. The eight-day event is being broadcast live on , , and the World Rowing channel.

“Peter [Dutch] VandenBerg and the 麻豆直播 broadcasting team are known for being innovative and thinking outside the box,鈥� said Bill Schenck, Chair of St. Catharines World Rowing. 鈥淭heir approach to covering the 2024 Mega Worlds exemplifies their commitment to elevating the viewing experience for a global audience, and this production is set to surpass anything we’ve seen before. We are deeply grateful for 麻豆直播’s invaluable contribution to this event, and are excited to showcase their talent to the world.”

For a truly unique perspective, VandenBerg mounted a camera to the boat of the official who follows in-line with the rowers.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a new perspective; I haven鈥檛 seen that in rowing. The view behind the group is going to be a game-changer.鈥�

While the whole course is important to cover, VandenBerg has his eyes on the final stretch.

鈥淭he magic happens in the last 500 to 1,000 meters. That鈥檚 where you鈥檒l find the majority of our production value, including live drone footage in some of the final races.鈥�

Graphics supplied by Swiss Timing will allow the 麻豆直播 team to showcase key rowing metrics at each of the 500-metre markers like boat speed and stroke rate, which help the production team tell the story.

VandenBerg credits infrastructure enhancements at the Royal Canadian Henley Rowing Course, including more fibers, for equipping the 麻豆直播 team to deliver a high caliber broadcast. He also acknowledges the role that the N22 Canada Summer Games played.

鈥淎 lot of our equipment is from the Canada Games鈥� a lot of the technological advancements in broadcasting are because of those investments,鈥� he said.

For current students, broadcasting the World Rowing Championships 鈥� under the guidance of seasoned 麻豆直播 pros 鈥� is the experiential learning opportunity of a lifetime and a point of pride for 麻豆直播.

鈥溌槎怪辈� is pleased to support the 2024 World Rowing Championships,鈥� said Fiona Allan, Vice-President, Academic at 麻豆直播. 鈥淥ur Broadcasting faculty, staff, students, and alumni are showcasing their talents beyond the classroom and highlighting our commitment to providing meaningful learning experiences that both enhance our students鈥� skills and positively impact our community.鈥�

The experience is also a professional development and mentorship opportunity for alumni.

鈥淥ur grads give back,鈥� said VandenBerg. 鈥淭hey want to come back, to do what was done for them, and be the person who mentors and inspires. It鈥檚 an incredibly inspiring nuclear reaction.鈥�

VandenBerg described 麻豆直播 alum Hendriks as his 鈥渞ight-hand鈥� during the Canada Summer Games. Hendriks 鈥� who is the Technical Producer/Engineer for the championship 鈥� works as an engineer at Dome. A recent career highlight was covering game seven of the NHL Stanley Cup Final.

Vahrmeyer has been working with World Rowing over the summer as Content Creator to produce all of the sponsorship content. Klassen is serving as Director and Kitiwano as Lead Audio Mixer and Audio Designer for the broadcast.

The crew had a chance to prepare, covering both the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Association Regatta and the 140^th Royal Canadian Henley Regatta this summer.

Of the five beers entered in the 2024 , 麻豆直播鈥檚 Teaching Brewery collected three medals: a gold for its Cherry Blawesome Barrel Aged Stout, a silver for its Vindobona Schrammer Vienna Lager, and a silver for its Blonde鈥ames Blonde Belgian Blonde Ale.

Cherry Blawesome was also awarded Best in Show, and the Teaching Brewery tied for third place overall.

鈥淥ur Teaching Brewery continues to shine internationally, proving once again that 麻豆直播鈥檚 level of teaching is exceptional,鈥� said Steve Gill, General Manager, Learning Enterprises. 鈥淭he hands-on learning that students get at 麻豆直播 is the reason they鈥檙e so successful, both while they鈥檙e studying and after they graduate. We鈥檙e very proud of our students and the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management Program.鈥�

麻豆直播 was one of 11 schools entered in the eighth annual championship, which is the only competition of its kind that focuses on student brewers. Each college or university may enter up to four beers of their choosing to be judged according to the regular U.S. Open style standards as well as the stated intentions of the student brewers.

One additional beer from a specific category can also be entered to be judged head-to-head according to the U.S. Open style standards and judging procedures.

For student brewer Braden Pedersen who worked on silver medal-winning Blonde鈥ames Blonde, the 鈥渟urreal鈥� win was all due to a strong group effort.

鈥淚’m super thankful for what I’ve learned taking this program, as it certainly helped me refine the original recipe into something much better,鈥� Pedersen said. 鈥淏ut more importantly, I have to thank my fellow classmates who assisted me and our other winners throughout our brew days, as without their care and attention to detail none of us would have medaled. At its best, brewing is a team effort; even if your beer didn’t medal (you) know that your effort and craftsmanship is appreciated every step of the way.鈥�

Nathan Melo鈥檚 Cherry Blawesome started as an experiment鈥攖he goal of which was to create a beer his mother would enjoy.

鈥淭he beauty of this program is that we have the facility and the freedom to take on a challenge, so I did,鈥� Melo said. 鈥淚 developed the recipe with my mother in mind鈥� and wanted to make something she would enjoy. As a child I recall her loving the Hershey’s Cherry Blossom candy, so I formulated the recipe to have a complex chocolate profile, a gentle cherry sweetness, and a very light vanilla flavor from the barrel.鈥�

For his brew to win a gold medal was a bonus鈥攁nd justified the many hours of work he put into it, he said.

鈥淭he award is very humbling, appreciated and validates that the late nights, early mornings and the one-hour commute (from Puslinch, ON) to and from class have all been so worth it.鈥�

The Teaching Brewery was also awarded two medals at the 2024 . Winners were announced shortly after those from the college competition.

The U.S. Open Beer Championship is among the top beer competitions in the U.S. and judges more beer styles than any other competition in the world.

麻豆直播鈥檚 Beer 101 Bitter was awarded a silver medal in the Special Bitter or Best Bitter category, while its Beer 101 Strong earned a bronze in the Old/Strong Ale category. Both beers medalled at the 2023 championship as well.

鈥淏eing recognized with an award is always a great personal reward and recognition for their class and the college,鈥� said Brewmaster and professor Jon Downing. 鈥淓ncouraging the students to design, brew and select the entries into (these competitions) allows them as a group鈥攁nd individuals鈥攖o see what it takes to take a beer from an idea to an entry in a world-class event.鈥�

Cherry Blawesome will be one of the beers featured at the next Project Brew, taking place on August 9 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus. The beer festival showcases the work of fourth-semester Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management students, whose distinctive craft beers will be sampled by guests with the goal of being chosen the People鈥檚 Choice.

The top beer will be awarded the $4,500 Matt Soos Memorial Scholarship, sponsored by .

Products from the 麻豆直播 Teaching Brewery are available for purchase alongside student-created products from the 麻豆直播 and (while supplies last) at at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake (135 Taylor Rd.)
