CCAP Arizona's new offices, Dunlap and 23rd Ave.,
not only sport new furnishings (in the space shared kindly through Roy Allen
and the smallMatters Institute), but also a small-ish but quite swanky new
computer lab space.
"We are especially grateful to Tito's
Beveridge," says CCAP Arizona Director Jill Smith, "for their
thoughtful generosity in funding the new computer stations."
CCAP Arizona's 2016 Industry Scholarship winners
assisted in selecting equipment and designed the lab space - which they
accomplished in between other obligations, since each is also working this
summer.
Selena Rodriguez and De"Jae Roberson are both
working with Roy Allen at the smallMatters Intitute (Beyond the Kitchen
Apprenticeship), while Damian Rohman is working for M Culinary on catering and
similar efforts. Susana Ortega
Navarro is working for Silvana Esparza, Cassandra Loper is working for Tracy
Dempsey, and Ivan Baldenegro is working for Christopher Gross.
"Each contributed time and energy - and also
did personal research on various systems and programs to assure that what we're
putting together can be most useful for CCAP students," says Jill.
CCAP Arizona students wishing to do culinary
research who need computer access may contact Jill, Dr. Carrole Wolin or Nicole
Schwartz to arrange time at the CCAP Arizona offices.
