IT'S OFFICIAL! The world's largest chef's association, the American Culinary Federation (ACF), officially inducted NTU Culinary Arts director Robert Witte, CEC, CCA, into its distinguished American Academy of Chefs on July 17, 2018 in New Orleans. The honor society represents the highest standards of professionalism with the organization, society, and industry.

Chef Witte was nominated to the American Academy of Chefs by Oklahoma-based chefs Mark Cochran and Geni Thomas on the merit of work ethic and professionalism, and over fifteen years of dedication building NTU's culinary arts program.

"With the support of the administration, my proudest moment has been what I've done with this program," explained Witte, in an interview last year. "Through SkillsUSA, through the medal winners, through the trainings. We've had people placed throughout the country, and they're progressing with their careers. That makes me feel better more than anything. This is the cherry on top of my career."

Congratulations, Chef Bob, on your tremendous achievement!
