Celebrating Alumni Series

Our STS alumni have so much talent to share. 

The STS Annual Events Committee introduced an ongoing series to give alumni a VIP pass to experience each other’s special businesses and skills. This exclusive opportunity for STS alumni and their guests (who don't have to be STS alumni), is a great way to network and socialize while learning something new.  

Past Celebrating Alumni Events  

 

Celebrating Alumni Marnie Fudge 2015 2
November 21, 2015 at Cuisine et Chateau

Holiday baking and dessert workshop with Marnie Fudge '87

STS alumni spent an interactive and fun afternoon of unique holiday baking in the kitchen of award-winning chef, entrepreneur and STS alumna, Marnie Fudge ’87, Saturday, November 21, 2015 at Cuisine et Chateau. Alumni had the opportunity to catch up with friends while learning new and elegant ways to sweeten up the holiday season. 

"The Holiday Baking and Dessert Workshop with Marnie Fudge '87 was not only informative and interactive, but delicious too. We were warmly greeted with a mimosa and introduced to the other alumni and guests. After a baking demonstration, we broke off into teams to try everything for ourselves. We had a brief recess to enjoy a lunch while our various desserts were baking/cooling. At the end of the session we left with carry bag of samples of all the desserts we had made that day and recipes to re-create them at home. I look forward to returning to Marnie's other workshops and other future alumni events."  Emily Struck '02

Celebrating Alumni Chateau et cuisine crepes
Preparing gourmet crepes!

An interactive culinary event with Marnie Fudge '87, Cuisine et Chateau

STS alumni got cooking with alumna Marie Fudge ’87 at the first ever Celebrating Alumni Series event on January 29, 2015 at Cuisine et Chateau. Our alumni’s kitchen chops were put to good use as alumni joined friends to prepare a gourmet meal, including homemade gnocchi and crepes, all while enjoying a wine pairing and great company.

"The interactive culinary event at Cuisine et Chateau was a fantastic alumni function. The venue was ideal for re-engaging with old friends while allowing us to learn a few culinary tricks in the kitchen. Marnie and Thierry were perfect hosts and I look forward to similar events in the future."  Jill Cross '85

"Shirley and I had a great time at the first 'Celebrating Alumni Event.' The evening was fulfilled with engaging conversation, hands on learning and lots of laughter. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks Marnie - Great Job! "  Paul '78 and Shirley Storwick
