Student Spotlight: Nyjee Rivers

Nyjee Rivers began finding her support system at OCC before she ever set foot on campus. After graduating high school she took advantage of a scholarship opportunity and attended a 6-month boot camp at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Poughkeepsie. As her scholarship was nearing its end she began searching for related options in upstate New York. During her time at CIA she had heard glowing recommendations about OCC Hospitality Management faculty member Chef James Taylor.
