CULINARY COUNCIL
We are proud to have assembled an advisory board of hospitality and culinary professionals who help inform our curriculum. These connections and insights better prepare our graduates for the path that unfurls in front of them after graduation, and into new employment and career growth in their newly-adopted home.
Culinary
Council
The Culinary Council serves as a vital bridge between our students and their culinary careers. We want our curriculum to reflect the skills needed in professional commercial kitchens throughout the U.S. The Council’s insights into the culinary world helps us shape a curriculum that will propel our students into their first culinary job and beyond, and connects us to employers to offer interviews and kitchen trails for our students.
