GI-TEC / CMU Collab

GI-TEC and @CMUniversity students are teaming up to create a healthier—but still delicious—cookie! Our Culinary Arts students bake fresh cookies every day for the School Store, and they’re always working to bring the best products to our students. Research, testing, and tasting turn our kitchen into a truly delicious laboratory.
