HMGT faculty and students are in the OpenLab spotlight once again. I am happy to share with you that Prof. Krondl’s Culinary Tourism class is being showcased for all the college community to see. https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/. His course was chosen because of the attention his senior students are dedicating to documenting their NYC food experiences in a way that we can all benefit from. You can see the student’s work here: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/culinarytourism2014/.

What makes the spotlight of his work even more significant is that the spotlight is rarely dedicated to our part-time colleagues. Congratulations Prof. Krondl and thank you for leading our students in such a creative and informative fashion.

Make sure to congratulate him with a message or in person.
