LAS CRUCES When Connor Olson started the spring semester in January, he was one of about five students working in New Mexico State University’s Sam Steel Café, housed in Gerald Thomas Hall.
After the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and NMSU began operating under state health guidelines to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, Sam Steel Café temporarily closed its doors. Olson moved over to ACES Foods, a student-run food production company in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. Under the supervision of program manager and instructor Whitney Blickem, students are helping produce orders of gelato and cookies, including 1,800 pecan sandies for Legacy Pecans.
