👩‍🍳 From the kitchen to the future! Westmoreland’s noncredit Introduction to Culinary Entrepreneurship course, offered in partnership with Fayette County Community Action Agency, Inc., is helping students build practical culinary skills, confidence and a path toward their goals.

Over 15 weeks, students gained hands-on experience in a commercial kitchen, earned food safety training and explored careers in the culinary industry, mobile food and entrepreneurship. For some, the experience has already led to new opportunities, including a promotion and plans to continue their education. Read the full story at tinyurl.com/2uh29esm.

🪥🦷 Our Dental Hygiene Big/Little Luncheon was a wonderful way to welcome our newest students into the program! First- and second-year students had the opportunity to meet their “Big” or “Little,” enjoy lunch together, and begin building relationships that will continue throughout their time in the Dental Hygiene program. We're looking forward to watching these Big/Little connections grow throughout the school year!
