Study Abroad Programs for Summer 2016
Kevin Spencer Brings his Magic Therapy to CDFS
Students Kevin Spencer is a professional magi-
cian who has now created a program
working with children using magic. He
travels worldwide, primarily working
with autistic children and other chil-
dren with developmental challenges,
but he has also worked in the medical
field using magic as therapy. He visit-
ed Child Development classes during
late March to demonstrate to stu-
dents how magic can work in all areas
of development. He showed several
magic tricks and discussed how they
can be adapted to areas of learning.
Showing students that motivation and
interest can drive students to learn
and retain information, Kevin has
helped them to look at things from a
different perspective. One student
shared the following with her instruc-
tor:
“I just wanted to express how I felt
about today’s presentation. In my four
years of college I have never enjoyed a
presentation this much or can remem-
ber even having guest speakers in any
of my classes. I am a Sociology major
with a minor in child development and
I can truly say I enjoy your class and it
reassures me that I made the right
choice regarding my minor. I know
Kevin Spencer talked about kids with
disabilities and although he focused
on Autism, I was really happy to know
there are ways of helping kids with
disabilities learn in a more creative
way and to make them feel like they
aren't any different. My little brother
has Down ‘s syndrome and is the most
amazing child I have met and the
presentation really hit home for me.”

One approach to this problem is to utilize uncommonly-used, rare, or under-utilized natural resources by converting them to food grade ingredients and further test the feasibility of incorporating these ingredients in food applications.” The Southern California Institute of Food Technologist (IFT) Competition Objectives: 1. “To inspire students in applying their food science learning and find solutions to current food industry
challenges.” 2. “To provide an opportunity for students enrolled in local food science programs to organize and present their
original research at the SoCal Food Industry Conference.” 3. “To provide a venue for connection of research in industry and in academia, and for networking between
students and professional members.”
