Video Follows Faculty Member's Preparation for 'World Cup' Finals

A new addition to Penn College's YouTube Channel focuses on Chef Charles R. Niedermyer II, an instructor of baking and pastry arts/culinary arts, a finalist to represent the United States at the 2016 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie (the "World Cup of Bread Baking"). He will compete in Rhode Island against two other talented chefs the first weekend in March to determine who will be Team USA's breakfast pastry specialist during next year's international event in Paris. While the competition brings distinction to Niedermyer and his colleagues in the School of Business & Hospitality, his preparation has proved inspirational for students. "I've been bringing in new flavors and new techniques to class," the 2000 alumnus says. "It's allowed me to be a good example to them about if you want to pursue something, you go for it. It's in perfect harmony with class."
