When was the last time your Dean stepped into the kitchen?

This semester, students in Global Kitchen: A Culinary Journey, got to work with Dean Hawley as a guest chef. She brought leadership, excitement, and creativity to the experience. It’s not every day you see campus leadership being a part of hands-on learning. Students were thrilled to have her join in on the cooking with them and learned how to make Brazilian cuisine.
