Hi! I'm Chef Michael McGreal.
I'm the Department Chair for the Culinary Arts
program here at Joliet Junior College,
in the brand-new, state-of-the-art
Joliet City Center Campus.
This facility is like no other in the United States.
Five stories of it are dedicated to
commercial kitchens and bakery kitchens,
all for the Culinary Arts program here
at Joliet Junior College.
The building was $58,000,000.
The equipment was over $9,000,000.
And so that left us a little strapped at the end
to get some of the extra things that we wanted:
some of the really high-end, great things available
for the industry today.
But thankfully, we had friends like you,
who sponsored this kind of stuff,
so that our students could learn on
the most technologically advanced equipment
and using the most up-to-date technology
available for the restaurant industry today.
Thank you for all your support of Joliet Junior College
and our Culinary Arts program.
We couldn't have done this without you and
all you did to make Culinary Arts training here
the best in the world.
Thank you for making Joliet Junior College
the first choice in community colleges.
