My Projects
Thomas Ahrens International Work/Study Programsā-Paris
Selected Hospitality Management students take part in an exchange program with students from Universite d’Evry during the month of June. This project presents first hand, the business of tourism, hotel management, cuisine and culture to our hospitality students at City Tech. During these 3 weeks our students are based in Paris and have had visits and conferences that included the Hotel de Ville, Rungis Market, Hotel George V, Patisserie Lenotre, Moet et Chandon in Champagne, Restaurant Le Grand Colbert, La Coupole and Le Vefour. Culture is investigated through the everyday experiences of living in Paris. Cuisine is formerly practiced in several culinary schools and informally experienced through day to day market shopping, tastings and restaurant dining. Each year students work on various walking tour assignments and have presented historic and cultural tours of various sites in Paris.
My Clubs
American Culinary Federation (ACF) Student Club is dedicated to sharing professional knowledge and skill with both members and nonmembers. Our mission is to provide opportunities that further the culinary education and experience of our students. We seek to support life-long learning, professional success, development of culinarian community and futures. As a club we will organize events to promote culinary arts through demonstrations, culinary competitions and developing industry connections. To aid in this mission we will do fundraising and provide volunteers to support achieving these goals. The Club will be participating in community service events and holiday meal preparation for community-based organizations. We hope to make meaningful contributions to the hospitality industry.
