Brainstorming Results from Tonight’s Meeting


  • Cooking classes – either taught by us or simply sponsored by us – 6th floor WPU has some facilities we might use
  • College dorm theme (no-bake or microwave)
  • Hand out college dorm-compatible recipes at activities fair and around campus
  • E-newsletter (receive a free booklet of college-themed recipes when you sign up for C.I.A. or for the e-newsletter!)
  • Food chemistry and mad food science
  • Elaborate-looking yet quick and easy meals
  • Food blog (here!)
  • Baked Sale. Next Year. 4/20. It will happen.
  • Snacks/meals to-go, free! (let’s try to get it funded) (means of advertising)
  • Advertising during activities fair and beyond: cookie/scone/treat wrapped, recipe included, on the back of the recipe is information about CIA! (“Edible business cards!” – Amanda W.)
  • C.I.A. Christmas party
  • Family House – Saturday morning breakfast (with a show!)
  • Brunch
  • Dinner and a show as an event on campus
  • Themed (holiday?) bake sales
  • Soup kitchens
  • Offer our services as caterers to campus events
  • Speaker – famous chef, maybe a vegetarian chef for Veg week?
  • Groups to potentially collaborate with – Student Dietetics Association, Free the Planet, Culinary Arts Club (does it still exist?).
  • Goals: Recruit new chefs. Grow. Expand. Establish connections and rapport.
