CSN has entered into a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Murakawa Gakuen School Corporation (MGSC), a prominent culinary and confectionery school network in Japan. The virtual signing ceremony took place on January 16, 2025, marking the beginning of international collaboration between these institutions.
The agreement focuses on fostering research, faculty exchanges, and hands-on learning opportunities for students in both the United States and Japan. MGSC is renowned for its traditions in Japanese culinary arts and operates several schools in Osaka and Tokyo, with a history that dates back to the 1980s. Representatives from the U.S. government, including officials from the U.S. Consulate General in Osaka-Kobe, attended the event to celebrate this partnership.
CSN International Programs visited MGSC in April 2024 to explore exchange programs and career pathways as part of this collaboration. CSN is set to host 25 students and two faculty members from MGSC for a customized culinary experience from February 2-5, 2025.
This partnership aims to provide new opportunities for aspiring chefs at CSN through diverse culinary experiences ranging from sushi to soufflés.
