MNIFT Virtual Macy Award and Student Recognition
2020 Macy Award Winner
Dr. Donald W. Schaffner
The Macy Award Committee is pleased to present the 2021 Harold Macy Food Science and Technology Award to Dr. Donald Schaffner, an Extension Specialist in Food Science and Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University. A full bio can be found on the Macy Award Page.
The Harold Macy Food Science and Technology Award was established by the MN Section of the Institute of Food Technologists in 1981. In the words of the bylaw adopted to formally establish the Award, its purpose "shall be to advance the profession and practice of food technology and to honor Dean Emeritus Harold Macy by the selection each year of an outstanding example of food technology transfer or cooperation between scientists or technologists in any two of the following settings:
- Academic
- Government
- Private industry
by the preparation of appropriate descriptive material describing the accomplishments involved, and inviting of the individual awardee or awardees to address the annual Award meeting of the Section."
Because of his extensive work in advancing the profession and practice in food technology, cultivating cooperation between scientists, and overall leadership in his field, the Minnesota Section of IFT is honored to recognize Dr. Schaffner as the 39th winner of the Macy Award. Each recipient of the Macy award is asked to give a presentation of their work at the annual MN IFT award ceremony. This year’s presentation will be a virtual luncheon event.
