According to excerpts from the story:
The new Culinary Institute of Michigan will soon welcome its first students. Construction on the $11-million dollar building in downtown Muskegon started in the Spring. The new facility is slated to open to culinary arts students on September 28th. According to John Cappellucci, dean of culinary arts, more than 300-students have already signed up to take classes. "With the advent of Food Network and all the other cooking shows. I think its inspired a lot of young people to consider the culinary arts or cooking as a profession. It's not just a trade. It's not a trade school. We're actually a college," he says. Cappellucci has also noticed a new trend of older students. He says, "With the economy, a lot of people are either finding themselves underemployed or out of work. They're tending to go back to school and really try to pursue something that may have been a dream of theirs for a long time."
