Faculty and Extended Faculty

Mary-Jane Maurice (MJ) is a long-term veteran of the malting industry. In the 31 years with Malteurop she progressed from Bench Chemist to Director of Technical Services. Mary-Jane’s proudest achievement was being the first American to be awarded the Master Maltster designation from the Maltsters’ Association of Great Britain, a title held by very few people in the world. She has taught for many different groups, including the MBAA, Siebel Institute, Northern Crops Institute, UC Davis, and breweries in Mexico, South Korea, and South Africa. Teaching has been one of the favorite parts of her career. She also has held multiple roles in the American Malting Barley Association as well as the Brewing and Malting Barley Research Institute in Canada. MJ is currently serving as the Technical Advisor to the new Black Frost Distilling Company in New Ulm, MN.
