Catie Donzell, Chef de Cuisine for Westfield Dining, was recently recognized by Food Management magazine among the “48 College Foodservice Heroes who made a difference this past year.”
Nominated by Bill Connor, the University’s director of dining programs, he noted “Catie has worked tirelessly this year to make sure that all students who were in quarantine or isolation received great food, along with surprises that delighted our students who were going through some challenging times being sick and away from family and friends.
“Catie also managed the entire food production and packaging process of application-based mobile custom meal ordering. At the peak, Catie was producing over 300 meals a day to keep the community and her fellow staff members safe!
“Catie epitomizes the Westfield State Dining program’s mission to being student-centric and never quitting!”
