Widener University’s Center of Hospitality
Management Partners with
Delaware County Community College to Offer Culinary Courses
Chester,
PA. -- Widener University’s Center for Hospitality Management has partnered
with Delaware County Community College (DCCC) to offer students culinary
courses on Main Campus.
The
partnership welcomes Peter Gilmore, a world-renowned chef and program manager
of the culinary arts at DCCC, to teach his intro to culinary course at Widener.
Chef Gilmore has studied and worked in France and is most known for his
contributions and service to Le Bec Fin, a former restaurant in Philadelphia.
There will be one course this fall, with two courses in the spring of 2017.
The
partnership will allow for a seamless transition for students into the Widener
four-year program, after completing a two-year degree at DCCC. Widener students
who have an interest in culinary arts will also be able to enroll in the
culinary courses for elective credit
“It’s a
great opportunity for two institutions to collaborate in various ways, from
recruitment initiatives to new programming,” Dr. Joy Dickerson, associate dean
of the Center for Hospitality Management, said. “We hope to provide a great
experience for the DCCC students. It's also wonderful for the Widener students
to have the opportunity to take a course under Chef Gilmore.”
Dickerson
also hopes the partnership integrates the two student bodies for organizational
activities to continue to strengthen the Center for Hospitality Management’s
student clubs.
