Visiting Chef Series
Each semester, the College invites distinguished chefs from around the country to visit our campus.
While here, the chefs interact with students and staff, guest teach, perform demonstrations, and lead the group in serving a perennially sold-out scholarship dinner. Our students have the opportunity to work alongside chefs that most students only read about.
Thanks to their patronage, dinner participants have enabled the College to raise a significant endowment for the Penn College Visiting Chef Scholarship. At least four students each year benefit from awards from this scholarship. Learn more about any of our Visiting Chefs by choosing from the list below:
