"We worked hard to get the culinary school not only up to ACF standards but exceeding standards and it showed," said Dr. Robert L. Hall, Associate Teaching Professor of Culinary Arts and department chair. "From the curriculum to sanitation; from faculty, student, and advisory board engagement to our presence in the community; from administration’s support of the program to the many university services that support our students, it was determined that we shine in ALL criteria. This was and continues to be a direct result of everyone’s daily efforts and attention to detail."
