Secchia Institute for Culinary Education Stage Alumni Fund

This fund was established by the faculty in the Secchia Institute for Culinary Education department. The purpose is to establish a staging program with former SICE students so they can continue to learn and grow in their chosen field OR have a former SICE graduate return back to Grand Rapids Community College to speak to current students.

1. Former SICE students from around the world have been chosen to participate by accepting a fellow SICE chef in their kitchens to work side by side with them to teach them about their specific sector of industry. The recipient must be a former student of GRCC’s SICE program and have been working for a minimum of three years in the industry. The chef hosting the stage must also be a former SICE student. The hosting chef would allow the intern to stage in their establishment.

2. A returning alumnus would speak to our current students about their experiences in the hospitality field. The alumni must have been working in the industry for a minimum of three years in the industry. The alumni will participate in demonstrations.
