Stratford Students Brighten
Holidays for Others
During the month of
October, Career Services
welcomed three employers
to campus: Maryland Live
Casino hiring for The Prime
Rib, Express Employment
hiring for on call banquet
positions, and Tudor
Heights hiring for two part
time cook positions. After
three days of on campus
interviewing 10 students
were offered positions or
asked to continue with the
hiring process.
Maryland Live Casino
offered students insight of
what it’s like to work for a
4-star restaurant and how
to handle a fairly intensive
screening and interview
process. The Maryland Live
Casino representatives had
wonderful things to say
about Stratford students and
offered positions to three of
them (steward, lead cook,
and hostess).

Stratford University was a proud sponsor of the March of Dimes Signature Chef Auction –
Central Maryland, which strives to prevent premature birth. The event took place on
November 5 at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel. Chef Instructor Frederick Huber and
several Stratford students served “Chicken and Sausage Gumbo” at the event.
This month, Stratford students will be giving
of their hearts and culinary talents to the
community. On November 5, guided by Chef
Eric Yeager, students prepared and served
guests at a fundraiser for the March of Dimes.
On November 20, Kennedy Krieger will pick
up Thanksgiving dinner prepared by culinary
students. Also that week, students will prepare
a holiday meal for the U.S. Army at Ft. Meade.
Before Christmas break, a project to distribute
food for the hungry will also be completed. “It
is great to see our students contributing to the
community in this way each year,” commented
Culinary Program Director Eric Yeager. ✰

Laura Bristow
Express Employment offers
students both on call and full time
opportunities around the Baltimore
area including banquet serving,
line cooks and banquet cooks.
Six students have been offered
positions with their company
to work with their partners at
local event venues. Express
Employment extended offers to
students to help train their banquet
serving team as well.
Lastly, Tudor Heights hired one
student. Kitchen Director Glen
Spurlock expressed how excited
he is to have found students that
he can see as being a great fit for
Tudor Heights Assisted Living
Home.

S
tratford students are really starting to “own” the Baltimore campus. In
the past few weeks we saw a successful Baking Club bake sale, Spectrum
Club Halloween party, over 250 Optimal Resume accounts, participation
in competitions, and a slew of student volunteers signed up for events including
the March of Dimes dinner, Pride of Baltimore event, and Maryland Science
Center fundraiser. It’s been great to watch people get involved. Meanwhile on the
administrative side we welcome Nick Grasso, Director of Admissions, Amanda
Fogarty, newest member of the Student Accounts team, and new faculty members
Eric Ambrose and Barry Wosco.
In just a few weeks we will all turn our attention to holiday preparations – and of
course a much needed break in December. On behalf of faculty and staff, I wish
you all the best for a happy, healthy, and hurricane-free 2013. ✰
HOS120 Students Visit
Four Seasons Hotel
HOS120 students got a first-hand look at front office operations during their October
field trip to the Four Seasons, one of the country’s premier luxury hotels. After
observing the front desk in action, the students met with the assistant reservations
manager and human resources director, learning about how the hotel ensures guest
satisfaction while maintaining the company’s corporate vision. “Field trips definitely
bring our courses to life,” commented Dean Frauwirth. “We will continue to plan as
many as possible next year.” ✰

Baking and Pastry Club
Bake Sale: Tia Berry Reports
The Baking and Pastry Club bake sale held on October 16 was a
huge success. Our club exceeded sales goals. Our biggest sellers
were the carrot cake cupcakes and blondies. Employees, faculty,
students, and even visitors to Stratford supported us by purchasing
products or making donations. We look forward to using the
proceeds from the bake sale for our next project. ✰
THE
DEAN’S
CORNER
with Dean Eric Frauwirth
This quarter I am happy to bring you a quick tip to keep your
uniform clean and white. Cascade Dishwasher Detergent.
Yes, liquid dishwashing detergent. If you have a stain on
your jacket, use a small amount on the spot and rub in with a
fingernail brush. When you run your washing machine, add
some Cascade in addition to your regular detergent.
Tia Berry and Briana Compton help raise funds for
the Baking and Pastry Club with a Bake Sale.
Do not use bleach on your chef jackets. Continual use of
bleach will cause the fabric to deteriorate and the seams will
start to unravel. Additionally, the bleach will change the
color of the embroidery of your name and logo. ✰
