This was a special week for our Culinary Cannabis students 🌿

In celebration of the 4/20 holiday, they took learning beyond the classroom with a Schenectady “Green Crawl” alongside their instructor Kim—visiting local dispensaries, exploring products, and engaging directly with industry professionals.

Real-world experience, thoughtful questions, and a whole lot of curiosity—our students continue to impress. 💚

Ran into one of our awesome students out in the wild this past weekend!

Ebony was vending at the Capital District Regional Market with her 3D printed items and freeze-dried specialty candies—just out there making it happen.

Our students are doing incredible things every day. Proud moment 💚
