2012 ICE Alumni Party

A recap of the Annual Alumni Party at the Institute of Culinary Education

Each year ICE’s Career Services department invites alumni back to celebrate the start of their culinary education as well as their current successes. 

It is a great way for people to connect in the community, share what they’ve been doing in the industry and ask the old professor a thing or two. This year, we had a great group of students reunite. Below spotlights just a few of the alumni that stopped by the party:

Kathleen Hernandez, chef de partie at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bakery in Rockefeller Center and Joyan Stroh, line cook at Restaurant North

From Career Services to chef-instructors, the staff at ICE maintain strong relationships with their students and take pride in helping them get to where they want to be in the industry through culinary education they receive while here, our strong externship program and ongoing job placement services. We always love seeing where our students have continued their career and are so proud of their hard work!
