The University offers ample support for undergraduates to discover new interests or explore existing ones, including through participation in specialised clubs established under the Student Union. The Culinary Arts Club is one of the choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew Ye, a Year 4 student enrolled on the Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts Management programme at UTM, currently serves as the club\u2019s president \u2013 his third term. He says that is of value to the club. \u201cYear 4 students have completed a curricular internship in the third year of our studies. This experience has allowed us to meet more people in the industry and establish connections, making possible the introduction of a wider range of activities for our members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversifying the club\u2019s activities has been the primary objective for the current academic year. \u201cWe\u2019ve invited head chefs and sous chefs from various hotels to conduct workshops for us,\u201d Matthew explains. \u201cWe\u2019ve covered topics like fine dining and Kombucha production,\u201d he adds, referring to the fermented tea drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Culinary Arts Club serves as a platform for Matthew and other Culinary Arts Management students to indulge their passion for learning more about gastronomy. \u201cOne never tires of pursuing what one is passionate about,\u201d he remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew notes that the club\u2019s circa 80-strong membership is drawn from a variety of UTM programmes. Many are Culinary Arts Management students, but others have a more casual interest in cooking. \u201cWe aim to offer opportunities for students not enrolled on the Culinary Arts Management programme to explore this area in a relaxed setting,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe strive to provide workshops where all participants can learn new things, as well as having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Echoing Matthew\u2019s sentiments, Miki Cheang, the club secretary and also a Year 4 Culinary Arts Management student, reflects on her extensive experience with the club. She recalls a memorable moment during her Year 2 as a student, when the club was inundated with mooncake orders from fellow students and university staff. Miki says: \u201cWe spent nearly the entire summer holiday on campus to ensure production. It was challenging, but we were passionate about our work and eager to share our products with the UTM community. It proved to be a rewarding and meaningful task.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Matthew and Miki prepare to graduate later this year, they are helping the next generation of Culinary Arts Club leadership be ready for those responsibilities. The more junior students are assuming shadow roles to learn the intricacies of club management. \u201cIt\u2019s akin to an apprenticeship, allowing our \u2018shadows\u2019 to familiarise themselves with our operations and carry forward our established goals,\u201d Matthew concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor: UTM Public Relations Team<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The club has an ongoing commitment to fresh educational initiatives, balancing leisure-focused activities with practical help for students aspiring to careers in the food and drink sector Campus life at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":11271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1705,136],"tags":[1218,1564,1058,329,704,400,2861,951,2859],"class_list":["post-11272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-extracurricular-activities","category-main_headline","tag-cooking","tag-culinary-arts","tag-culinary-arts-club","tag-extracurricular-activities","tag-gastronomy","tag-macao","tag-macao-university-of-tourism","tag-student-union","tag-utm","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"views":2625,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11272"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11278,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11272\/revisions\/11278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
