This past month the Global Mentor Program collaborated with the Dean’s Advisory Board of Students (DABS) and the Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) Department to bring our students an exciting opportunity to learn how to cook with HTM’s Chef David Yanisko! This event was offered in two different sessions and the menu consisted of 1. Pan Roasted Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes 2. Teriyaki salmon, edamame, and cucumber rice bowls, and 3. Veggie and potato samosas - equipping our students with new skills to cook healthy and simple meals at home. The students were split into groups and each group focused on their designated dish, each involving different and various culinary techniques taught by Chef Yanisko.

Since each group was broken down by meal choice, our students ended up in groups with strangers but ended up with friends. This collaboration with the Hospitality and Tourism Management Department further solidifies the joy and feeling of community that the Global Mentor Program strives to foster within Pamplin. We can’t wait to do it again!
