CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA
One of the world’s premier culinary schools, the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park is where world-renowned chefs like Anthony Bourdain, Michael Symon, “Ace of Cakes” Du Goldman, Cat Cora, John Besh, and Roy Yamaguchi cut their teeth.
Jerome Bocuse, the son of legendary French chef and founder of the Bocuse d’Or culinary competition Paul Bocuse, graduated from the CIA in 1992. The institute honors the family name through the Bocuse Restaurant, a stylish, contemporary French bistro. It’s one of ve eateries on campus, all of which are sta ed by CIA students.
Thanks in part to those restaurants, the CIA is a tourism engine: More than a quarter of a million people visit the school annually.

The college’s national reach extends to the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, a renowned survey research center founded in 1978. Its Marist Poll measures public opinion of politics, economics, sports, and culture at the local, state, and national level. The Wall Street Journal and NBC News are some of the clients that use Marist Poll results.
The Marist Poll, together with the Marist College Center for Sports Communication, also conducts polls for “HBO Real Sports.” In 2015, the Center for Sports Communication awarded its rst Lifetime Excellence in Sports Communication Award to broadcaster Bryant Gumbel. The award ceremony attracted personalities like Katie Couric, Jane Pauley, and Kelly Ripa.
The Marist Institute for Public Opinion has involved undergraduates in conducting survey research for more than 30 years, and students participate in every survey. It regularly hosts conferences and seminars with journalists, pollsters, and government o cials while o ering student employment and internships.
Marist also honors luminaries in the communications industry with the Marist College Lowell Thomas Award, named for the broadcaster who made Lawrence of Arabia famous and received an honorary degree from the college in 1981. Past recipients of the award include Walter Cronkite, Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, and Cokie Roberts.
