National Food Safety Education Month, Fall Fashion Trends and More

Michael Fiala, executive chef for the Schwebel Room at Kent State, blogs about National Food Safety Education Month this September. Fiala says:

Also, as we prepare food for others, we must give full honor to the notion that the people we are about to feed are putting all of their faith and trust in our ability to nourish them safely.”

Decision Time
Bob Burford, marketing/external relations coordinator with University Communications and Marketing and weekend announcer at WKSU, continues his story about his weight loss journey. Burford says:

Fall Fashion Trends
Young Kim, interim director, NYC Studio, and lecturer, School of Fashion Design and Merchandising, writes about fall fashion trends for men, women and children. Kim says:

“This fall, red is the new black, and the runways featured everything from oxblood red to bright corals.  If you hesitate to wear one of these shades from head to toe, pair one red garment with neutral pieces for a pop of color.”
