“At JWU, education is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. You’re not going to spend four years with your nose buried in a book, learning theories you may never get a chance to apply — you’re going to get out there and apply them, be it through internships, group projects, leadership opportunities, competitions and more.”Chef Susan Lagalle is a department chair and senior instructor in the International Baking & Pastry Institute.
