SCENES FROM THE UNIVERSITY
PAINTING A NEW PORTRAIT AT NATIONAL LOUIS UNIVERSITY NLU adds the Undergraduate College and the Kendall College of Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management By Nicholas A. Love
Like a great work of art that has stood the test of time, National Louis University (NLU) is undergoing a restoration process. The canvas that Elizabeth Harrison first touched her brush to, Miss Harrison’s Training Class, is receiving some polish and a bit of new scenery: the Kendall College of Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management (Kendall) and the Undergraduate College (UGC). KENDALL COLLEGE Kendall College officially joined NLU this past August after many long months and several long nights of navigating the complex process of receiving regulatory approvals to transfer Kendall’s business, education, hospitality management, culinary arts and baking/pastry programs. Kendall’s business and online early childhood education programs moved to the NLU Chicago campus. The hospitality, baking and culinary programs will mostly
remain on the Goose Island campus near downtown Chicago for the foreseeable future until new culinary and hospitality facilities for Kendall students are completed. While Kendall is now part of NLU, it will retain its name and premier reputation as Kendall College of Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management at National Louis University. National Louis is pleased to broaden its program opportunities for all its students. “This is an opportunity to continue to advance Kendall’s reputation and legacy as we meet the needs of the growing culinary and hospitality sector in our region,” said President Nivine Megahed, Ph.D., of the addition of Kendall to NLU. “While there is still much work to be done, I hope you also will take note that this is a pivotal moment in both NLU’s and Kendall’s history, and one that will have lasting significance.”
