You may have noticed the lack of classes at the Hyde Park, NY campus listed in this edition of The ProChef Journal. That’s because the CIA is in the midst of rolling out exciting changes to our degree programs and temporarily needs extra kitchen space to implement them. We expect this transition period to last throughout 2013. During this time, we may occasionally have kitchens that free up and allow us to schedule some professional development classes for you on short notice. So we encourage you to check the course listings on www.ciaprochef.com/programs frequently and sub- scribe to our e-news at www.ciaprochef.com/enews/subscribe.html to ensure you get all the latest updates from Hyde Park.
