Culinary
Conference
Last month, June 18-20, four of our Dining Services
chefs went to a culinary clinic from Premier, a nationwide healthcare alliance.
Antonio Gutierrez, Daniel Aguirre, Abigail Diaz and Victor Sevillano met with a
group of over 20 chefs from the region to learn from some of the nation’s top
chefs. They honed their skills in a variety of seminars, learning how to create
delicious, nutritious, affordable and environmentally friendly food.
“The employees enjoy this session and learn so
much,” said Victor Sevillano, Manager of the Beach Walk Café and supervisor of
kitchen preparation. “From the first moment we jump into the kitchen, we use
our skills to create recipes.” This is a great experience for our chefs,
bringing new techniques and ideas to our campus and our palates!

Tips for a healthy and effective summer slim-down
We know its summertime and everyone is enjoying
the Long Beach sunshine and relaxing by the pool, but this is also a great time
to focus on you and be active! Whether it's to look good for an upcoming beach
vacation or to simply get in shape, setting healthy goals is a great first
step. Sticking to those aspirations doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful.
Just follow the tips below for an effective yet healthy summer slim-down and
you’ll look and feel great in no time.
Go outdoors
The weather is nice, so why not take your workout
routine outdoors? So many outdoor activities are natural calorie-burners, plus
they’re a lot of fun and will help you get a tan too (But don’t forget your
sunscreen!). Ride bikes on the weekend down Ocean Blvd or play Frisbee on the
beach. Infuse your social activities with fitness, too. For example, finish a
date night with a romantic walk outside, or have friends over for an outdoor
barbecue and dance party.
Gardening is also a great way to enjoy the warm
weather, plus you burn calories without even knowing it! Try planting your own
herb garden. It’s a simple activity and not only are you reducing your carbon
footprint, but you will be able to incorporate fresh and healthy herbs into
homemade dishes.
Eat & Drink Smarter
Light foods pair well with warmer weather, so
take a fresh approach to meal time. Visit your local farmers market to pick up
fresh, seasonal food and get creative in the kitchen. Incorporate water-based
fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew and pineapple into meals. For
dessert, freeze grapes for a sweet treat after dinner.
Look for snacks and drink options made from pure
and simple ingredients. Stay hydrated by stocking the fridge with healthy drink
options. A big pitcher of cold water with slices of strawberries, cucumbers and
lime is a refreshing drink that’s readily available. This low-calorie drink
quenches on even the hottest days.
Rise and shine & try something new!
Get some fresh air first thing in the morning; it
will keep you energized all day long. Take a quick walk or practice yoga
outside – try it during sunrise for a great way to start your day. You’ll be
surprised with how cheery and upbeat you’ll feel.
Warm weather is the perfect time to try something
new. Take tennis or golf lessons, or meet friends on a weekly basis to play a
different sport. Hit the sand with the family and try some beach body Pilates;
do a few crunches on your towel, try some planks in the sand, and even some
crab walks. Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses to protect your skin and
eyes.

Speaking of wellness…Here’s some information
about our Student Recreation and Wellness Center (SRWC) that you can put to use

Interesting
Summer Read
Brenda Vogel, a professor of Criminal Justice
Studies at CSULB, recently co-authored a book for Wadsworth Publishing – A Primer on Crime and Delinquency Theory.
Appearing in this third edition of the textbook
is Vogel’s 184-page examination of criminological theory from biological,
psychological and sociological perspectives.
In a description of the book she explains, “The
behaviors that society chooses to define as crime change across time and place.
Our students assume they know what a crime is, but this text challenges their
understanding. This book explores fundamental assumptions about human nature
and the nature of society.”
Vogel encourages her potential readers to
consider this text.
“If you want to understand the basics of
criminological theory, then this book will give you what you need to know
without wasting your time with fluff,” she said.
In honor of her published work, the University
has announced Vogel the Author of the Month. For more information about her
work in Criminal Justice, please visit the University Publications Office’s
newsletter here.
