KCC Urban Farm is engaged with so many different parts of the Kingsborough community. We provide soil samples used by students and instructors in Physical Science labs, supplement work in Community Health and other classes, offer cooking demonstrations throughout campus, provide produce used in the Culinary Arts kitchens and deliver produce that is donated to students through KCC’s Single Stop, just to name a few. Take a look at some of our hard work in action:
Cooking demonstrations at KCC’s Single Stop and other events on campus.
On April 2, 2014 Kingsborough Community College held its 2nd annual Sugar Whiz Competition where select Culinary Arts students were invited to present their own take on a macaron and plated dish combination to attendees. Attendees voted on best dishes and out of three available winning slots, two were CUNY CareerPATH graduates!
Daw’ud Lee and Giacomo Boncimino both came to CUNY CareerPATH looking to expand their knowledge in the Culinary Field. Though their experiences differed, both men shared the same passion. Upon successful completion of CCP, both immediately expressed interest in continuing their education in KCC’s culinary department and, facilitated by their CUNY CareerPATH educational adviser, they were able to enroll. With two semesters under their belts, Daw’ud and Giacomo are each making great strides in the culinary department and playing an active role in student life. Winning the Sugar Whiz competition is only one step in the many goals both Daw’ud and Giacomo will accomplish. CUNY CareerPath is very proud to have them as graduates and brand ambassadors, We are sure this is not the last we will hear of them.
