OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE

CONNECT · LEARN · SHARE



WELCOME From its earliest days in New Haven, CT, The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) sought to provide superior culinary education to its students. And for nearly 75 years, the CIA has been widely recognized as the world’s premier culinary college, providing unparalleled education to the next generation of leaders in the food world. Our academic programs, expert faculty, cross-sector leadership, and network of more than 50,000 alumni uniquely position us at the forefront of American food culture and as a key agent in the transformation of the global food system. Our partnerships with top universities, industry associations, volume foodservice companies, and a worldwide network of chefs strengthen our ability to expand palates and drive innovation across the food industry and beyond. It’s a mission that is vital to ensuring the financial strength and resilience of our industry, advancing the career aspirations of the next generation of food leaders, sustaining our planet, and supporting the health of generations to come. And it’s one we can’t achieve alone. In the coming pages, you’ll gain a glimpse into the college and its degree programs, along with the conferences, invitational retreats, sector-specific collaboratives, and other initiatives that have established the CIA as a preeminent source of thought leadership for the $860 billion U.S. restaurant and foodservice industry. We are privileged to be a compass for change. We invite you to join us on this journey, and look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.

A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATION The Culinary Institute of America pioneers forward-thinking food education for both students and professionals...the sharing of inspired, innovative ideas for now and for the future...and the advancement of meaningful change across The early days of the CIA in New Haven, CT

our industry. And it’s been that way from the very beginning. The college started as many game-changing endeavors do—with a challenge to make things better. Approached by the New Haven Restaurant Association to help develop skilled restaurant workers, community leaders Frances Roth and Katharine Angell saw an opportunity to both fulfill that need and help returning World War II veterans gain new job skills. With this commitment, the New Haven Restaurant Institute opened its doors in 1946—and the world’s premier culinary college was born.

Today, with campuses in New York, California, Texas, and Singapore and industry connections around the world, the CIA continues to propel the industry forward.

ADVANCING THE PROFESSION When the CIA first opened its doors, it turned the existing European apprenticeship model on its head. The idea of educating chefs in a formal college setting was revolutionary. The CIA has completely changed the way aspiring food professionals prepare for their careers, providing an education model that would inspire countless others. Just as revolutionary are its CIA graduate Maneet Chauhan ’00 with students during a visit

academic programs:

• Associate Degree Programs—The emphasis on hands-on learning was the focal point when the CIA launched its associate programs in culinary arts and baking & pastry arts, an important step in elevating the position of chef. • Bachelor’s Degree Programs—As the need for specialized knowledge and skills has grown, so too have the college’s bachelor’s programs, which include industry-relevant majors and concentrations. • Master’s Degree Programs—Graduate-level offerings help students shape their careers and consider ways to meet the complex challenges of an ever-changing global food system. At the cornerstone of a CIA education is its faculty— master chefs, successful restaurateurs, wine experts, nutritionists, and many other food authorities who mentor and guide students to success. The collective industry experience and credentials of this faculty is unmatched in culinary education—they literally “wrote the book” on cooking.

A valuable hands-on teaching moment in a CIA kitchen

In 1962, the college’s chef-instructors recognized the dearth of quality textbooks in the culinary field and created their own—The Professional Chef. There had never been anything like it before, and it soon became a definitive culinary resource. Today the ninth edition of the text is used at the CIA and across the U.S. The approach to culinary education pioneered by the CIA has helped to redefine the perception and status of chefs and greatly advanced the industry they serve— leading to the unprecedented success and vitality we see in the profession today.

Sustainability and Food Ethics Campus apiary developed and maintained by Applied Food Studies students

The CIA’s work in health and wellness is inextricably linked to sustainability. Through Menus of Change and other initiatives advancing healthier, flavorful menus, the CIA reaches the most influential decision-makers in volume foodservice—enhancing their understanding of the science, evolving consumer preferences, and the business case for addressing climate change and the environment. As a result of our leadership, countless foodservice executives have been persuaded to leverage their purchasing power to improve animal welfare, reduce antibiotics, support responsible agricultural practices, and enhance the health of our soils and oceans.

And we practice what we preach: The CIA maintains long-term relationships with local farms and grows many of the herbs and vegetables for its own teaching restaurants.

SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships for CIA students enable the future leaders of our industry to receive the world’s finest education and a solid foundation for professional achievement. With more than 90% of CIA students requiring some form of financial assistance, the college has made it a top priority to expand its scholarship program, reducing the financial burden on students. Scholarship support is vital for hastening their climb toward professional success and positive social impact.

ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES • Endowed Scholarships: Your gift establishes the principal for your scholarship fund; the principal is invested as part of the college’s endowment. Awards to students from endowed scholarships are made in your name in perpetuity. • Expendable Scholarships: Fully expended within one to five years after receipt of the donation, renewable, expendable scholarships help to close a student’s financial gap.

BENEFITS Setting up a scholarship is easy, and getting your company’s name in front of future food industry decision-makers is an added benefit. Your scholarship will also enable students to work less so they can better focus on their studies, relieve stress, instill confidence, reaffirm their life’s vision, and inspire perseverance and the pursuit of excellence. With that kind of lasting impact on your scholarship recipients’ lives, your investment now can yield future, lifelong champions of your company and brand.

MANAGER-IN-TRAINING The Manager-in-Training (MIT) program is designed to set the industry benchmark for post-graduate, on-the-job training programs for culinary, baking and pastry, and hospitality management professionals. The year-long program has opportunities for MITs in the kitchens, bakeshops, public restaurants, and other key areas on all CIA campuses. By sponsoring an MIT, your brand exposure grows exponentially as MITs build brand loyalty while supporting the education of hundreds of students during their tenure. Activities of an MIT might include touring company headquarters, working at the sponsor’s headquarters during school breaks, and hosting sponsor visits to campus. MIT sponsors can customize additional opportunities to enhance the overall student experience.

BENEFITS Align your company with the CIA’s most accomplished students— individuals who are on track to hold leadership positions in the industry. As a sponsor of a manager-in-training, you have an opportunity to engage with your sponsored MIT, supporting their career launch while informing them of your brand’s key attributes.

With the responsibility of paying for college on my own combined with the fact I was born with half my left arm missing, I felt my culinary arts aspirations were over before they even got started. But scholarships gave me access to the CIA and the staunch support from my chef-instructors helped me thrive. The CIA and its benefactors inspired me to take risks, persevere, and believe that if you pursue your dreams with passion and dedication, then anything is possible. ANATOLE SULLIVAN Anticipated Class of ’20 Bachelor’s in Applied Food Studies Northbrook, IL

The MIT program positively challenges me on a daily basis while providing the hands-on experience required to develop managerial skills necessary for restaurant operations. As I aim to become a general manager at a high-end hotel, I believe this position will help open many doors for my future career.

NOVEMBER 4–6, 2020 THE CIA AT COPIA 22nd Annual International Conference & Festival Worldsofflavor.com The Culinary Institute of America’s Worlds of Flavor® International Conference & Festival is widely acknowledged as our country’s most influential professional forum on world cuisines, food cultures, and flavor trends. Join us for the 22nd edition of Worlds of Flavor as we take on a deep and broad continental exploration to examine what unites and differentiates us from Vancouver to Valparaiso. We’ll focus on the culinary scenes of some of the Americas’ most vibrant cities, looking at street food and markets just as much as pop-ups and fine dining. We’ll look at what has driven the explosion of restaurants across the United States in the last 10 years and where the industry is heading. We’ll discover some of the most innovative chefs in cities across Latin America, how they continue to find new ways to work with traditional ingredients, and how that informs our own menus. We’ll dive into data and dishes, people and plates to define what will drive food in the Americas.

WHO WILL BE THERE 600 leading chefs, foodservice executives, global cuisine experts, and influential foodservice industry professionals.
