Rate My Professor Stephen Baughan

Under Baughan's oversight, the College Catering team delivered over two million meals to more than 2,500 students across ten University colleges and nine production kitchens in 2024. This operation is supported by 295 staff members, including 50 qualified chefs, 45 front-of-house and food service assistants, and approximately 200 student kitchen assistants. A significant accomplishment that year was the commissioning of the new kitchen at Te Rangihīroa College, where the food service team catered to the inaugural cohort of 450 students.
