It took a few decades, but here we are – The Education Experience. Simply delivering curriculum content is not enough anymore. Colleges are expected to create an environment that is conducive to attracting, retaining, and graduating competent and confident individuals. This Experience includes state-of-the-art facilities, beautiful campuses, loads of technology, the very best trained faculty, and in the case of culinary arts programs – sophisticated kitchens and dining environments. Tuition alone will not support these needs and expectations and tuition does have a breaking point – so, the ability to provide this experience rests firmly on the shoulders of effective Development Offices. 

Listen to our conversation with Jen Root – Associate Vice President of Development for the University of Idaho as we delve into the need for collaboration and synergy between all stakeholders in the education of tomorrows chefs, restaurateurs, and leaders.
