Fordham University's Student Culinary Council

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that the Student Culinary Council is currently accepting applications to join our multiple committees! The Student Culinary Council (SCC), which is comprised of the Marketplace, Retail, Sustainability and Nutrition committees, is a group of students that works with Sodexo, Fordham's catering company, to plan menus, events and promotions, while always assisting them in achieving the highest level of Customer satisfaction.

In the past the Student Culinary Council has been responsible for:
-Planning and testing of new menu items
-Driving survey participation
-Establishing new retail brands
-On Campus mystery shopping

As Co-Chair of the "Marketplace," I am responsible for assisting my committee, which manages Fordham's main cafeteria "The Marketplace".

This year we are slated to assist Sodexo with all of the following events:
October 20th: Oktoberfest & Rock Band Performance
October 20th: Cooking Class- PiesOctober 21st: Grilling

In addition to all of these events, we have weekly meetings to discuss the food served in The Marketplace, and we are constantly critiquing the menu to make sure students are satisfied when they dine in the cafeteria.

Students who are interested are encouraged to apply to any committee! If accepted, you will be added to Sodexo's payroll and earn $8.25/hr working for the SCC! We are not considered a club- this is a job! The SCC is a great way to get involved in on-campus life while earning some cash!
