Is Velveeta really a cheese?
Should chocolate be considered its own food group?
John Kettnich, assistant food service director at the Paradise Café, PVCC's cafeteria, shares a glimpse of his personal journey into food service, provides restaurant advice and answers tough food questions.
Kettnich began his career with Aramark Corporation, which holds the contract for management of Paradise Café, in February 1997. In March 2002, he began working at PVCC. Initially, he split his time between managing the books for cafeterias at both Glendale Community College and PVCC.

On Sept. 23, Dr. Rufus Glasper, former MCCD vice chancellor of Fiscal and Budget, was officially appointed as new chancellor by the Maricopa Community College Board after a controversial summer dominated by the firing of former chancellor Dr. Fred Gaskin.
Glasper was appointed acting chancellor in August. He was the only candidate to submit a letter of interest to the board from a field of possible internal candidates in the district. Glasper appeared at a series of public forums held in September at several community colleges to answer questions and meet the community.

On Aug. 29 and 30, when PVCC celebrated the closest Mars orbit to Earth in 60,000 years with viewings of the red planet, over 1,000 people showed up, according to adjunct astronomy faculty, Dr. Keith Krueger.
The campus became a hotbed of amateur astronomers and those who just wanted to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. The viewings were scheduled to be held from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., but were extended to 11:30 p.m. due to the overwhelming turnout by the public. It was on both nights to get a glimpse. The event was organized by astronomy instructor Dr. Keith Krueger and lab technician David Hellmann.
