Who's conducting CCAP interviews?

(and why do you care?)

C-CAP founder Richard Grausman with CCAP president Susan Robbins

C-CAP Arizona scholarship interviews this year include five professionals.  Each has a different kind of view, and will look for different things in your responses.

Students need to remember to give each person equal weight and importance in responding to questions.

This is rough, but also helps insure that each is seen more completely as judges discuss the interviews and applications. 

It’s not difficult to learn about C-CAP judges, since nearly all will have professional bios available on line through their professional affiliations, or through sites like LinkedIn or Facebook.

Here’s one to get you started.

Richard Grausman

Richard Grausman is the founder and president of CCAP.  A native of North Carolina, his first degree is in economics.  He studied with James Beard before enrolling at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.  He became the school’s first official ambassador.

He’s considered one of this country’s foremost culinary experts and educators, with a sterling national reputation.   His greatest goal for CCAP students is to have each succeed in school and in their culinary careers. (Learn more about Richard and his career at www.ccapinc.org/grausman-bio.php.)

Susan Robbins, president of CCAP. Jill Smith, Arizona CCAP director, Carrole Wolin, PhD, and chef Nicole DeKruyter will also be interview judges in 2015.
