A Slice of Language.

A pizza my morning.
Hanoi, Vietnam – A smiling woman arrived unexpectedly at my desk this morning, a personal-sized pizza in hand.

She laughed and visibly searched her English vocabulary for the right word.

“Product?”

With furrowed brows and a chuckle, we scanned each other’s faces for the lexicon that would unlock the secret of the doughy creation.

“Students!”

Bingo. The mid-morning snack was courtesy of the college’s Culinary Arts program, which provides students with an understanding of the tourism and hospitality industries to provide them more stable jobs.

Best of all: no delivery fees.
