MICUA Matters Spring 2011
Students from Baltimore International College—the region’s leading institution for culinary arts and hospitality management—had the privilege of meeting the President of the Republic of Ireland, the Honorable Mary McAleese and her husband, Dr. Martin McAleese, late last year. President McAleese’s title in Irish is “Uachtarán na hÉireaan.” The meeting took place during a luncheon visit to the Park Hotel, located at BIC’s Virginia Park Campus in Virginia, County Cavan, Ireland.
To learn the art of European cuisine and hospitality, all BIC degree students participate in a five-week, tuition-inclusive practicum at the Park Hotel. The Ireland campus practicum serves to broaden students’ knowledge through hands-on experience working with professionals in the industry. Culinary arts students learn from seasoned chefs in the hotel’s kitchen, and hospitality students learn different aspects of managing a resort by working with the administrative staff.
