WELCOME Food matters to us at The Culinary Institute of America, and we believe

it matters to you. Food has the power to nourish and to heal. Food

can change lives and build community. For our students, food also

challenges and inspires.

Throughout our history, the CIA has engaged in strategic partnerships to

further our educational mission. Each year, we welcome another group

of aspiring culinarians and provide them with the tools, guidance, and

encouragement to become tomorrow’s foodservice industry leaders. From

our degree programs to our industry leadership initiatives, alliances with our

private and public sector partners have played a critical role in establishing

the CIA’s position as the world’s premier culinary college.

Corporate, foundation, and individual support has helped us grow our

industry and advance the role that food and food choices play in society.

By underwriting a wide range of scholarship opportunities, this support

enables us to enroll the best students, regardless of financial need. Thanks

to you, we can attract a faculty that pioneers new research and challenges

the frontiers of our field. Your sponsorship permits us to explore and

develop initiatives that build on our college’s thought leadership platforms

of professional excellence and innovation, health and wellness, world

cuisines and cultures, and sustainability and food ethics.

In this publication, you will find detailed information about our philosophy,

our goals, our programs, and our plans. Whether your interest in

collaborating with us stems from your desire to invest in the future of

our $680 billion industry or in the future of a single student, whether you

need to solve a specific product or menu challenge or address a vital social

imperative, we hope you will join us. We look forward to working with you.

THE CIA STORY: FOUNDATION OF LEADERSHIP

In 1946, Frances Roth and Katharine Angell shared a vision that was without

precedent. Marrying the growing demand for skilled chefs and the needs of

veterans returning from World War II, they created the New Haven Restaurant

Institute in Connecticut. It became The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in

the 1950s and moved to Hyde Park, NY in 1972. The CIA now boasts three

additional campuses in St. Helena, CA; San Antonio, TX; and Singapore. For

nearly 70 years, the CIA’s 46,000 graduates have shared their passion for food as

chefs, industry leaders, and mentors.

PREMIER CULINARY COLLEGEAs the world’s premier culinary college, the CIA sets the gold standard for culinary, baking and pastry, and culinary science degree programs. It continues to drive industry innovation with advanced concentrations in American Food Studies: Farm-to-Table Cooking; Latin Cuisines; and Advanced Wine, Beverage, and Hospitality.

CONTINUING EDUCATIONKnown for continuing education and thought-leadership programs, the CIA spearheads conferences and forums that provide insight into world flavors, food cultures, healthy menus, and culinary innovation. Working with partners such as Harvard School of Public Health, the University of California at Davis, and the MIT Media Lab, the college’s programs are unique within the foodservice community.

NOT-FOR-PROFITA not-for-profit institution, the CIA is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the same organization that accredits universities like Princeton and Columbia. And like these institutions, we pride ourselves on professional excellence, our esteemed graduates, and the ability to provide the very best education to thousands of students each year.

“With all the restaurants and hotels we have created over the years, I still

try to stay rooted in the kitchen, in operations. My ability to consistently achieve excellence and keep fueling a culture of innovation goes back to my

CIA education, and my incredible team. The 70+ CIA graduates working for us are integral to how we renew the strength of our reputation every day.”

What sets CIA graduates apart from the rest? Our alumni are the first choice of

leading foodservice and hospitality industry employers around the globe. They

are flavor experts, masters of technique, researchers of world food traditions,

creative geniuses, and are committed to healthful food preparation. We hear

from CEOs and executive chefs that the level of dedication and talent among

our graduates is unsurpassed. In fact, four CIA graduates were included on the

2014 Forbes “30 Under 30 in Food and Drink” list.

Learning at our campuses takes place in the hands-on environment of the

college’s kitchens and bakeshops, classrooms and laboratories, public restaurants

and cafés, and in our menu research and development collaborative space.

NEW YORKThe CIA’s main campus in Hyde Park, NY offers associate degrees and bachelor’s degrees. It has 41 professionally equipped kitchens and bakeshops, and four award-winning restaurants where our students gain real-world experience. 2014 highlights include:

• The Marriott Pavilion opened officially in April.• A renovation to the library, creating the Library

Learning Commons, was completed.• The Student Recreation Center is undergoing a major

renovation and will reopen as the Student Commons. • The first class for the bachelor’s in culinary science

degree program graduated.

CALIFORNIAThe CIA at Greystone opened in 1995 in St. Helena, CA. It continues to grow as we expand degree concentrations and wine and beverage programs. It is here that we welcome chefs from across the country and around the globe for many of our conferences and leadership summits. 2014 highlights include:

• The first CIA conference produced in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab—reThink Food —was held in November.

• Major renovations are coming to the Greystone public restaurant.

• A greenhouse was built to ensure a year-round supply of fresh herbs and vegetables for The Conservatory Restaurant.

• Wine enthusiast class offerings have expanded, thanks to the new CIA Wine Studies Annex in downtown Napa.

TEXASCIA San Antonio, now in its sixth year, offers associate degrees in culinary arts and baking and pastry arts. An additional focus at the San Antonio campus is educating aspiring Latino culinarians and promoting the flavors and techniques of world-class Latin foods to culinary professionals everywhere. 2014 highlights include:

• A bachelor’s degree concentration in Latin Cuisines was launched.

• The first two events in a new series of quarterly Professional Colleague and Alumni Demos were held on campus to encourage engagement with the local chef community.

• A major redesign of the Library Learning Commons and a new Student Services Center were completed to enhance the student experience.

SINGAPORECIA Singapore, established in 2011, is the CIA’s first international campus. It serves as a dynamic cultural and culinary crossroad, offering a CIA bachelor’s degree in culinary arts in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology at the campus of Temasek Polytechnic.

This campus had record applications and enrollment and now, after three graduations, it is changing the local food scene:

• Graduates are winning awards for bakeries, organic jams and condiments, traditional Singaporean food with Western influences, and more.

• One 2013 grad is working at El Celler de Can Roca—the number one restaurant in the world.

• Another 2013 alumnus was the runner-up in Singapore’s first food reality show competition.

The CIA is the recognized leader in culinary education for undergraduate

students, foodservice and hospitality professionals, and food enthusiasts.

Throughout its history, the college has played a pivotal and positive role in

shaping the future of hospitality and the foodservice industry. We are guided

in everything we do by four thought-leadership platforms, and we strive to

instill these ideals in our student body.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP PLATFORMS

PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATIONThrough acclaimed degree programs, industry leadership initiatives, and strategic partnerships, the CIA works to elevate the image and status of professionally educated chefs; expand the scope, depth, and diversity of their knowledge base; stretch the reach of their impact on all sectors of the food and foodservice industries; and challenge them to engage actively in advancing the larger, social good.

The influence of today’s chefs extends far beyond restaurants. Foodservice professionals now shape consumer attitudes and appetites from the supermarket to the home. Our passion for knowledge translates to a dedication to excellence through education that stretches across the breadth of our $680 billion industry. That passion also drives our curiosity as we encourage and support innovation in every sector of foodservice, from constant refreshment of our core curriculum to our research into healthier foods for kids.

For almost 70 years, the CIA has played a pivotal role in elevating the image of the chef. As attitudes and perceptions evolve, so do communication technology and the emerging frontiers of the kitchen and culinary science. Keeping our students and alumni on the cutting edge of key global workforce trends benefits them, the customers they serve, and our society.

HEALTH AND WELLNESSWhile never diminishing our commitment to the culinary profession and the art and craft of cooking, collaborations with nutrition scientists, public health experts, and government policy makers are an increasingly important part of the CIA as we work to improve the health and wellness of our nation. Acknowledging the link between diet and health, the CIA develops strategies and solutions to increase the presence—and success—of healthy menu choices throughout the foodservice sector.

Americans are increasingly turning to chefs and foodservice providers for everyday meals, snacks, and beverages. By fostering dialogue between the foodservice industry, medical community, academics, and government agencies, we are seeing greater leadership in health and wellness, both within foodservice and across our nation. Working in concert with the professional culinary community, the CIA is committed to combating childhood obesity and diabetes.

During the past decade, the CIA has partnered with Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School to present a series of influential health-focused leadership conferences and initiatives (see pages 10, 12, and 19). These efforts, along with research by our culinary faculty, have helped eliminate trans fats from most American foodservice kitchens, pioneered alternatives to reduce sodium use, and encouraged restaurants and schools to have fresh produce make up at least half of every plate.

Page 9: CIA Industry Leadership and Advancement 2015

WORLD CUISINES AND CULTURESFood, and the sharing of food, can bring us together in ways that both emphasize our common humanity and celebrate our differences. Through the development of our campuses, curricula, conferences, study abroad programs, and research, the CIA fosters cultural exchange and understanding using food and cooking as the delicious medium.

Our faculty, staff, and student body include individuals from every state and more than 30 countries. Our Worlds of Flavor conference invites renowned chefs from around the world to our Napa Valley campus to share tastes, trends, and techniques. In San Antonio, our Latin Cuisines concentration allows our students to develop expertise in the indigenous foods of Mexico and Central and South America. At the CIA Singapore, we have created a platform for cultural exchange between Asian and American culinary professionals.

According to U.S. Census Bureau forecasts, by 2050 Latinos and Asians, along with their non-European food cultures, will compose 38 percent of the population. The CIA is leading the way in preparing our industry and our students to anticipate these dramatic changes and opportunities in taste and menu preferences. We are integrating the best of these changes into the new American narrative of culinary innovation and cultural renewal.

SUSTAINABILITY AND FOOD ETHICSThe CIA is working to advance the common goal of preserving and protecting the health of the planet and our public health by fostering balanced dialogue about environmental sustainability, public health, food ethics, and global responsibility.

Local sourcing. Declining fisheries. Energy and water use. Sustainable agriculture. Treatment of animals. Climate change. These concerns are top-of-mind for culinary students, chefs, and consumers. For many, how a chef’s menu impacts the health of the planet has become just as important as the taste or creativity of a given dish.

To support these kinds of strategic challenges for the future, the CIA is increasingly working to help our students and the industry develop broad “food systems” thinking. Our Green Campus initiatives include our edible landscapes, Farm-to-Table Cooking concentration, LEED certifications, and more. We have our own farm for sourcing many herbs and vegetables for our Greystone campus and long-term associations with local farms in Hyde Park and San Antonio.

Two of our leadership programs—Menus of Change (page 19) and Flavor, Quality, and American Menus (page 20)—bring science- and evidence-based perspectives to the table and thoroughly consider issues of ethical and social responsibility. In 2015, Menus of Change moves to the Hyde Park campus, so our student body can more directly benefit from the presentations by international experts and policy makers.

The Culinary Institute of America has long been a leader in bringing innovative, compelling healthy menu solutions to the foodservice industry through conferences, leadership retreats, and digital media initiatives.

The CIA’s Healthy Menus R&D Collaborative is a dynamic initiative focused on a few critical health and wellness imperatives and opportunities, including sodium reduction, increasing use of fruits and vegetables, improving carbohydrate quality, and strategic calorie design.

Healthy Menus R&D Collaborative members include representatives from top chain restaurants, contract foodservice operations, and campus dining. The members are taking lessons from previous CIA health and wellness programs and working together to “roll up their sleeves” and craft highly targeted, sector-specific, practical solutions that significantly contribute toward expanding healthy menu choices within the volume foodservice industry.

Collaborative. We’ve been gratified to support this vital initiative as its lead sponsor, and work alongside influential corporate chefs at the top American chains who are trying to make a difference by developing specific, practical strategies

which advance healthier food choices. But it has been the larger relationship with the CIA which we value the most because it

ASIA AND THE THEATER OF WORLD MENUSFLAVOR DISCOVERY, CULTURE, INNOVATION, AND STYLE

APRIL 22–24, 2015 NEW SPRING DATE! CIA AT GREYSTONE17th Annual Worlds of Flavor® International Conference & Festival

worldsofflavor.com

Firmly grounded at the intersection of tradition and innovation, Asia sets the stage for 21st century culinary exploration and challenges us to re-imagine the theater of world menus. Chefs from Europe to the Americas are increasingly turning to Asia for inspiration, dipping into age-old techniques and flavors and intriguing textures found nowhere else. And they’re exploring ingredient lists rich in vegetables and seafood, as well as unique stylistic presentations that impact spatial as much as tableware design.

With Asia and the Theater of World Menus, we will immerse ourselves in the cuisines from India to Thailand, China to Japan, and Korea to Singapore. We will meet these cuisines’ most accomplished chefs and experts—the guardians of traditions as diverse as Kyoto’s kaiseki and the Thai royal court.

We will talk about Asian approaches to building and layering flavor, the evolution of the region’s restaurant culture and booming hospitality scene, Asia’s quick-serve equivalent of the “dollar meal,” world-class culinary experiences and tasting menus, and elements of food design.

We will also look at the ways in which Asian flavors, ingredients, and techniques have reshaped the thinking of chefs around the world and contributed to some of the most innovative flavors and trends of the 21st century.

Whether working to bring authentic Asian flavors to local Millennial hotspots or next-generation hybrid flavors to the world’s top tables, we’ll learn from the best practitioners about their strategies for menu success.

Join us for Asia and the Theater of World Menus as we explore one of the biggest culinary megatrends of our time: the integration of Asian flavors and styles into Western concepts of food and hospitality, and the rise of Asia as a new center of gravity for chefs—and their flavor-seeking customers—around the world.

Childhood obesity and other nutrition and lifestyle issues that negatively impact the health of America’s children and youth represent some of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. While the dynamics of these challenges are complicated, and many issues depend on government action for their resolution, one significant subset of these concerns—the creation and promotion of healthier foods and beverages—provides multiple opportunities for immediate and focused attention in our nation’s schools.

At Healthy Flavors, Healthy Kids, representatives from school districts across the country meet to review standards, discuss challenges, and share success stories. Celebrity chefs and master bakers work alongside leaders from our nation’s schools to deal with the issue of healthy foods that kids will crave.

WHO WILL BE THERE200 invited attendees, including experts in children’s nutrition, K-12 school foodservice chefs and directors, school foodservice manufacturers and suppliers, and trade and consumer media.

Collaborating with top chefs, food service directors, and the USDA has been invaluable as we develop healthy, flavorful products that address the new CN guidelines for K-12, and importantly, that are appealing to kids. At the end of the day, introducing healthy, flavorful food options will eventually drive to healthier consumption habits for kids; and that’s something we want to be a part of.”

ciaprochef.com/lfak

Latin Flavors, American Kitchens is The Culinary Institute of America’s annual program on Latin cuisines, cultures, and exchange. This leadership program—held at the CIA’s San Antonio campus—highlights the world heritage of Latin cuisines, their future on American menus, and the advancement of Latin American culinary professionals.

WHO WILL BE THEREA core audience of 45–50 of our nation’s top corporate chefs and senior-level volume foodservice menu decision-makers and influencers representing the chain/multi-unit foodservice (including large, mid-sized, and emerging chains); college dining, B&I, and other volume foodservice; hotel and resort foodservice; and more.

“This CIA conference supported my belief that world flavors are fundamentally important to our prepared

foods menu. Most of the work I have been involved with since attending the conference has focused on both

ethnic flavor profiles and increased nutritional value in our food. I am particularly cognizant of avoiding

‘cultural strip mining’ and ‘dumbing down’ of authentic flavors and concepts when we develop a recipe....being

surrounded by so many chefs and ingredients really helped us propel items onto our menu.”

reTHINK FOOD™: MIND, BEHAVIOR, AND CULTUREEXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF FOOD, NEUROSCIENCE, ECONOMICS, TECHNOLOGY, AND INNOVATION

Co-presented by The Culinary Institute of America and the MIT Media Lab

NOVEMBER 6–8, 2015 CIA AT GREYSTONE2nd Annual Conference

re-thinkfood.org

Every dish we cook, every meal we eat represents the convergence of mind and matter, head and hands. At the second annual reThink Food, The Culinary Institute of America and the MIT Media Lab will again bring together chefs, neuroscientists, sensory scientists, cultural experts, economists, and innovators to explore how we experience food, from the workings of our sensory systems and the impact of new technologies to the habits and rituals that bind us.

At the most basic level, emerging brain and sensory research is upending what is known about how individuals develop biases in their food and beverage choices. At the same time, understanding the complex factors that drive change in American food culture is critical to identifying openings for innovation. reThink Food reviews and reveals cutting-edge ideas in product development and marketing that drive growth in the trillion-dollar American food sector.

The program will focus on research from a variety of disciplines and will incorporate experts across diverse sectors. Topics range from the anthropology of American food culture and the psychology of food marketing to sensory science and brain behavior.

WHO WILL BE THEREreThink Food will welcome 300 participants, including academics, business leaders, chefs, taste experts, and media, for research presentations, panels, tastings, culinary demonstrations, and a variety of sensory experiences. In the corporate sector, VPs and directors of research, marketing, product development, brand strategy and innovation, together with corporate chefs, will find this conference especially valuable.

PROFESSORSHIPS AND LECTURE SERIESSupport Innovation and Learning

PROFESSORSHIPA great college needs great faculty who are the best in their fields. Engaging with the CIA to establish an endowed academic chair means having access to food and beverage experts, superior teachers, and creative, innovative thinkers.

One of the most important ingredients in the CIA’s recipe for success is our faculty. The person standing at the head of the class or directing an academic program might be a Culinary Olympics gold medal winner, a Certified Master Baker, a published author, or an expert featured in the media. Outside of the classroom, CIA faculty are a tremendous resource for students, connecting them with their colleagues in the industry. Opportunities for supporting faculty programs and initiatives include creating or contributing to an endowed head or chair of a department, an academic center, or an endowed professorship, program, or lectureship.

LECTURE SERIESSupporting an educational lecture series that brings noted speakers in all disciplines to the CIA highlights your company’s commitment to education. Our lectures focus on trends and topics crucial to our industry today—from flavor development and health and wellness to volume menu innovation and agriculture-foodservice collaboration. As a lecture series sponsor, you’ll help introduce our students to chefs, flavor experts, sensory scientists, consumer insight specialists, cuisine experts, wine and other beverage authorities, pastry chefs, and marketing and communications professionals, plus leaders in agriculture, health care, nutrition science, food and beverage manufacturing, and other related fields.

BENEFITSCombine your company’s interests and expertise with those of CIA faculty to stay ahead of the curve. Every day, our students and faculty are searching out solutions to the important questions surrounding food that affect the larger culinary community.

“North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers (NAFEM) has enjoyed a decade-long

Through the MIT program, your brand exposure grows exponentially as each MIT builds brand loyalty while supporting the training of hundreds of students during his or her tenure.

Activities of an MIT might include:• Touring company headquarters • Working, during school breaks, at the sponsor’s headquarters or

in the field with company representatives• Participating in trade shows and conferences representing both

The CIA’s Department of Menu Research & Development is a center for education and applied research. It acts as an incubator of culinary innovation that supports the foodservice industry, educators, and current and aspiring food professionals in the field of culinary arts and sciences.

A major objective of the CIA’s Department of Menu Research & Development and its Menu Research & Flavor Discovery Initiative (MRFDI) is to facilitate collaboration between chefs, scientists, and other experts through food research and development, education, and outreach. It does this by advancing the understanding of ingredients, culinary techniques, food science, cuisines, consumers, and the ever-changing food industry.

GIFT-IN-KINDPutting Your Product in the Hands of Experts

To become exceptional chefs, students must learn to use exceptional ingredients and equipment. They are exposed to an impressive selection of fine products over the course of their education, and you can make your products available in our kitchens so students can reach for the best as they learn. It is in the kitchen classrooms where CIA students are first exposed to the foodservice brands that they will come to use on a daily basis. These first experiences are powerful for our students and lead to establishing lifelong preferences. Putting your brand in the hands of CIA students causes a ripple effect of positive perception and experience, as these future decision-makers carry the knowledge of your brand with them when they head out into the industry.

We strive to provide our students with the best products, services, and equipment in the industry. We have established a selection criteria to identify the “gold standard” in each category that allows us to opt for quality, durability, ease of distribution, ease of maintenance, life of warranty, and budgetary offset.

The CIA establishes an initial one-year partnership to ensure that the criteria are met and both parties are satisfied. This arrangement has resulted in a 90-percent renewal rate of companies who move on to a three- or five-year Gift-in-Kind agreement.

BENEFITSThe use of your company’s products, services, and equipment throughout the entire CIA system clearly indicates the college’s acknowledgement of the quality and value of your brand. This particular opportunity gets your brand and products into the hands of the college’s influential faculty and receptive students.

“Vitamix and the CIA have developed a mutually advantageous relationship that supports the students and the college by donating high-quality blending equipment for use in all its kitchens. We believe the students are not only being trained by one of the finest culinary colleges in the world, but also on the best blending equipment available. Vitamix applauds the CIA educational advancements that continue to take the culinary profession to new heights.”

commitment to excellence. With this facility, the J. Willard and Alice S.

Marriott Foundation is proud to continue its partnership with the college in creating

positive experiences for students as they pursue their studies for careers in foodservice

and hospitality throughout the world.”

BUILDING ON EXCELLENCE

THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICAOver the next several years, the CIA plans to transform our New York campus and support our students and faculty by creating bold new facilities and renovating existing buildings. The opening of the Marriott Pavilion in April 2014 was a major step. The expansion of our Student Commons—including a new state-of-the-art dining hall, teaching kitchens, and the Brooklyn Brewery at the CIA—is now underway. Projects also include the expansion and renovation of Roth Hall (the 110-year-old former Jesuit novitiate), new residence lodges, and renovations to residence halls that were built in the 1970s.

The evolving world of culinary arts and the business of food demands that our students and faculty stay abreast of the changes in culinary science. Donations allow us to attract and retain world-class faculty with increased budgets for innovative research and collaboration with our partners at Harvard School of Public Health, University of California at Davis, Cornell University, and more.

Above all, our students remain our primary focus as we endeavor to provide them with the tools to become leaders in our industry and thoughtful stewards of our planet.

As a not-for-profit institution, the CIA is supported largely by financial contributions from individual and corporate donors who believe in the CIA’s mission and embrace the broadest understanding of the role that food plays in our lives. Our students and faculty are passionate about food and about the transformative power of food.

Your investment helps us sustain our vision and our bold plans for the future.

CIA Advancement officers will be happy to discuss fee structures and participation options to serve your level of financial commitment and marketing strategies.

TAKE YOUR SEATWhen your company purchases a seat in the stunning 800-seat Ecolab Auditorium in the new Marriott Pavilion, they are ensuring that generations to come will know of its commitment to the CIA mission.

Name the seat in honor of your business or to acknowledge a person who is making, or has made, an important contribution to the life of your company.

The four-day program features many of Harvard’s most influential researchers, as well as guest chefs who help translate the nutrition science into healthful options for today’s busy consumers.

This invitation-only retreat highlights the much-acclaimed flavor discovery expertise of the CIA at Greystone as it explores menu and other trends at the intersection of upper-tier volume foodservice and fine dining. Platinum and Premium Gold supporters have the opportunity to sponsor a presentation.

This conference, now in its 17th year, is one of the foodservice industry’s premier events. The World Marketplace brings to life the culture and cuisine of the featured countries and regions.

This invitational leadership symposium highlights the unique role chefs play in developing healthful, flavorful foods for children, and focuses on K–12 foodservice. Top level supporters can sponsor a presentation and participate in the hands-on kitchen workshop.

This initiative provides a framework for chefs and industry leaders to assume a larger, pivotal role in integrating key imperatives of flavor, health, the environment, sustainable business practices, and economics.

All sponsors have the opportunity to participate in the hands-on kitchen market basket activity, working alongside the foodservice operators. Silver sponsors and above can present directly to this top group of corporate chefs and operators. A field trip to local farms and orchards creates memorable “flavor discovery” experiences for participants.

This conference, held at the CIA San Antonio, focuses on Latin cuisine and Latin flavors. Each year various countries and regions in Latin America are highlighted. Premium Gold supporters have the opportunity to sponsor a presentation.

The program will focus on research from a variety of disciplines and will incorporate the expertise of authorities from across diverse sectors. Topics will range from the anthropology of American food culture to the psychology of food marketing, and from sensory science to brain behavior.

Each reception has its own unique qualities. Some include discussions or demonstrations, while others are more casual networking opportunities. Sponsors receive a specified number of tickets to attend at least one event.
