Three County Prep students visited Hudson County Community College on Thursday, October 29, 2015 to participate in their “ Culinary Student for the Day” program. The students — Karlissa Giron, Jamal Williams, and Joey Valentino — cycled through the various culinary labs to gain exposure to the post-secondary culinary arts program and to “feel” what it is like to be a college student. They also had the opportunity to interact with the professors and to partake in “hands-on” activities in the various kitchens. The students met with an admissions counselor to review the application process. At the conclusion of the tour, the students attended a luncheon in the dining hall that was served and prepared by the culinary college students. Overall, it was an invaluable structured learning experience that defined a potential career option for our students.
