University of Holy Cross students roasting their way to RCA Conference

The Research Chefs Association Conference starts on the 26th. The future of the organization is in the students that attend the show, and it is great to see one example of how students work to earn tickets for the conference. It’s one of the best ways to help them start building their networks, can introduce them to their first roles, and result in lifetime membership, like some of the current leadership of the RCA.

These pictures are of the UHC Food Science Programs’ students learning the art and science behind coffee roasting. The students roasted the coffee themselves and have begun selling the coffee as a fundraiser to help them attend the Research Chefs Association Conference in Savannah.
