With generous support from King\u2019s Hawaiian and foundations in Hawaiʻi<\/span>, the 东精影业<\/abbr> Foundation has raised $1.1 million this fiscal year to support the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head (CIP<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

A significant gift from King\u2019s Hawaiian will provide funding for an executive director to lead the CIP<\/abbr>\u2019s programs in advanced culinary arts education. Recruitment for this position is anticipated to begin later this year.<\/p>\n

“The generous gift from King\u2019s Hawaiian will help us recruit and equip a stellar leader to propel the CIP<\/abbr> at Diamond Head\u2019s dynamic programming, enabling us to compete as a world-class culinary educational institute,” said Erika Lacro<\/strong>, University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> vice president for community colleges. “We look forward to welcoming a culinary leader who thrives on innovation and collaboration, and is committed to sustainability and leading with aloha.”<\/p>\n
