ny to meet graduates and discuss career opportunities.

for open positions.

Vast Cookbook Collection Donated to
Culinary Institute of Virginia
S
ometimes, partners are huge cor-
porations. Other times, they are
thoughtful people who want to help.
Such is the case with Alfred Davidoff.
The Williamsburg resident recently lost
his wife, Maureen, who had a tremen-
dous passion for cooking. So much so,
she collected more than 2,000 cook-
books during her lifetime. Knowing that
ECPI University’s School of Culinary Arts
is filled with students who share that
passion, he donated them all to the Uni-
versity’s library. The books are currently
being catalogued and will be divided
between the Virginia Beach and Newport
News campuses. Mr. Davidoff, a grateful
university thanks you.
Library Director Rebecca M. Tabakin
