On Wednesday, December 6th, Professor Lisa Campbell and her young, talented chefs at the ENMU Department of Agriculture, Food Science, and Kinesiology gave a great banquet to the ENMU instructors, their family members, and their international students. The guests were professors from diverse ethnic backgrounds who had presented within Chef Campbell’s International Cuisine program during this Fall 2023 semester. Professor Campbell’s students surprised the invitees with delicious American dishes and surprise gift bags filled with sweets, goodies, and meaningful Christmas messages. The heart-warming atmosphere, culinary artistry, and hospitality of the party hosts exceeded all expectations. Thank you, bravo, and Merry Christmas to our ENMU chefs!
