This past fall, the Monroe College Alumni Association kicked off the season with a cocktail reception on the loft level of the Bronx Museum followed by a privately guided tour of the exhibits at the museum.

After a grueling weekend of preparation, the Monroe College culinary students made an outstanding showing in the Societe Culinaire Philanthropique 142 Annual Salon of Culinary Arts at the Jacob Javits Center. Top honors went to Amanda Guzman for her seafood platter, Rosalyn Early for her seafood hors d'oeuvres, and Kareem David for his game platter.
