Donor Appreciation Invitation

Donor Appreciation Event

The South Seattle College Foundation invited many recent donors to a Culinary and Wine event at South Seattle College in October 2024. This event was a way of saying thank you to our donors and giving them a chance to see the new plans and happenings in the Culinary Department at South, meet the Foundation’s board, and mingle with other donors, Culinary Department faculty, and students.

The students from the Culinary Department prepared a vast assortment of appetizers and dessert noshes for the guests to enjoy. The group also enjoyed wine prepared by the students in the Wine Studies Program.

This event was also planned to highlight the big plans for the Culinary Department infrastructure, kitchens, restaurants, gardens, etc. A major overhaul is in the works. The total anticipated cost is a little over $7,000,000. Plans include upgrades and renovations to the restaurant kitchens, learning kitchens, dining areas, student eating areas, kitchen gardens, and more.

Our goal is to prepare our students for all aspects of the culinary industry with cutting edge classrooms, modern technology, and culinary techniques.” – Brian Scheehser, Dean of Prof and Tech Education Hospitality and Service Occupations
