I’ve always loved food … you never run out of things to learn about food, and it serves as a window into other places and times. In a lot of ways, food is a language. Teaching at KCC has given me an opportunity to pass along that passion to my students.

It’s a lifelong source of pleasure and adventure.” —Babette Audant, Professor of Tourism and Hospitality YOU COME FIRST THEIR RESEARCH, That’s how a graphic design most classes have fewer than One of the strongest supports YOUR OPPORTUNITY student and professor 30 students, so professors you’ll find at Kingsborough is Imagine studying science produced the winning NYC teach through hands-on our faculty.
