Note
All right, welcome. Alan Hancock students
My name is Ron Lovell. I'm the assistant professor and program coordinator for Culinary Arts
and hospitality management.
I wanted to give you a brief overview of what we do in this program.
We have a lot of fantastic
part time instructors. We teach the lecture
classes in a traditional classroom and we
also teach a lab. For many of the courses
so that you get a real world experience. And
I'd like to show you what that looks like.
Come on in.
So, this is s 107 This is our culinary lab,
and we have this set up so that it mimics
what you would see in the industry. So this
is a real commercial kitchen. And we can keep
class sizes small we fit about 20 students
in here, per class, and we teach the advanced
baking and pastry and basic Baking and Pastry
principles of foods, wanting to. When you
first start into the program. We allow you
to borrow a chef coat and a knife kit to help
you get started.
And it includes pretty much everything that
you need for basic cooking, and the equipment
that we have in this kitchen allows us to
make restaurant quality or hotel quality pastries
and food. So, coming this way.
We've got convection ovens, which is exactly
what you're going to see when you get a job
in the industry. We do have a fryer full range
and broiler. We've got a salamander or cheese
melter, and all of our equipment is NSF approved,
and it allows us to prepare students for working
in the industry. But one of the reasons why
I love working here is because of the culture
in the attitude of the classified staff, the
administration and the instructors. We are
here for you You are basically our customers,
and we want to make sure that you have the
services, and the support that you need to
graduate and get a great career, whether you
transfer into a university, or whether you
start working right away. We're here to help
you. My office is just right down the hallway,
I give my students my cell phone number. Because
I want to be able to be accessible to them.
Whenever they they need anything. I have a
lot of industry contacts and so we'll help
you get a job too if that's something that
you need while you're while you're going to
school. I hope you enjoyed this. I hope it's
helpful and if you have any questions, reach
out to us. All of our program coordinators
are here to help you.
