Here, you’ll train your palate to pick up on every note in a drink, then figure out which foods make it taste even better. You’ll also learn how to run the show: building beverage strategies, marketing them and setting the standards for hospitality businesses. Cocktails and coffee, mocktails and tea all count as coursework here. Cheers to learning by tasting! 🍵

Hispanic Heritage Month, served up! Last week, Culinaria Latina took over Snowden Dining Hall with a 9-item menu, each dish representing a different Latin American country. Students got to taste their way across Latin America without leaving campus! Some fan favorites? Birria from Mexico, choripanes from Argentina, and pastelitos de guayaba from Cuba. We’re still thinking about how delicious they were.
 
Thank you to Culinaria Latina, Campus Dining, the Inclusivity Programming & Action Committee and the Global Citizen Program for making this incredible event happen. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🌎
