Summer is in full swing, but that does not mean the fall semester at Kansas City Kansas Community College is not around the corner.
The KCKCC Thomas R. Burke Technical Education Center has several exciting fall classes to consider for the fall semester. The slate of classes also includes more in the cooking category, which should excite many in the community, said Elizabeth Folsom, technical assistant at KCKCC-TEC.
“Evening cooking classes have always been a very strong draw to the community to attend KCKCC-TEC,” Folsom said. “With this in mind, Chef Bob Shields and Chef Kelly Jenkins have increased the number of special culinary arts classes that will be available including everything from Scary Salads to Tailgate Extravaganza.”
