The college prides itself on its inclusive environment, experienced faculty, and dedication to student development and career readiness. EPCC also emphasizes hands-on learning experiences in real-world settings, making it an ideal institution for programs such as Culinary Services.
The role of Hospitality Events and Food Service Coordinator is an integral position within the Culinary Services Program at EPCC, focusing on coordinating and supervising hospitality events and food service activities involving students.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing operations that deliver exceptional customer service and maintaining sanitation and safety standards aligned with industry and program requirements. You will assist in reviewing and managing budgets, monitoring financial transactions, and analyzing food, labor, and overhead costs to guarantee cost-effective management of campus food service areas. Menu planning and waste prevention are key components of the responsibility, requiring strategic oversight to optimize resources and address catering requests with professionalism and responsiveness.
