Today we announced an agreement with the Institute of Culinary Education to join two historic forces in culinary education on one strong, dynamic national platform at ICE’s LA & NYC campuses. ICC will wind down its operations after providing an opportunity for active students to complete their programs when NYC enters Phase 4 of the reopening.

We are incredibly proud of the work we have done over the years, the contributions that we have made to the food world, and most importantly, of the students and alumni who have passed through our doors. We are honored that the foundation built by Dorothy Cann Hamilton more than three decades ago will have a new home at ICE.
