Martin Yan on Johnson & Wales

"When people refer to Johnson & Wales as a world-class university they are not just using the term lightly. A Johnson & Wales education is a window to the exciting world of global cuisines and culinary opportunities. As a chef whose career has been dedicated to fostering cultural understanding through the culinary arts, I have worked with many educational institutions and organizations—and I’m proud to say that my long-term association with Johnson & Wales has been one of the most fruitful partnerships of all.

"Over the years, I’ve found that what makes J&W so special and unique is its deep commitment to giving students a rich, full educational experience, and helping them turn that experience into a great career.

"I’ve also seen firsthand how J&W is fulfilling its mission to become a truly international university—both by giving students opportunities for study abroad and by bringing bright, motivated students from all over the world to its U.S. campuses. To me, it is this type of intercultural exchange of energy, ideas, knowledge and traditions that puts J&W at the forefront of culinary instruction.

"Johnson & Wales stands for quality education that creates world-class careers—and promotes worldwide understanding and dialogue. That’s my kind of school!"
