This was a special week for our Culinary Cannabis students 🌿

In celebration of the 4/20 holiday, they took learning beyond the classroom with a Schenectady “Green Crawl” alongside their instructor Kim—visiting local dispensaries, exploring products, and engaging directly with industry professionals.

Real-world experience, thoughtful questions, and a whole lot of curiosity—our students continue to impress. 💚
