WELCOME<br />

On behalf of the faculty, administration and staff of <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>England</strong> <strong>Culinary</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> (NECI), I want to welcome you to<br />

our learning community. Whether you are returning for the next<br />

stage of your educational journey or arriving as a new student, I<br />

am certain you will find NECI a culinary college that is<br />

continuously focused on your success and dedicated to helping<br />

you reach your professional goals.<br />

NECI is a small college – intentionally so – and we are<br />

confident that our size will be to your advantage. You will be<br />

working in small groups and we will get to know you very well.<br />

Our instructors and support staff will work with you personally<br />

and intensely, in order to help you acquire the knowledge and<br />

skills you will need as you prepare to enter the dynamic and<br />

challenging fields of culinary arts and food services.<br />

This <strong>Handbook</strong> is designed as a resource to assist you in<br />

learning what you need to know about NECI. It will provide you<br />

with essential information about programs, services and residential life, as well as academic,<br />

internship and classroom expectations. This <strong>Handbook</strong> also contains descriptions of policies and<br />

procedures that govern our operations and academic requirements. It describes the responsibilities<br />

NECI has to you as well as those responsibilities you have to the college, to your fellow students<br />

and to the NECI community.<br />

While this <strong>Handbook</strong> is extensive, it is not exhaustive. Throughout its pages, you will find<br />

numerous references to student, residential and academic advisors who are available to answer<br />

your questions. Please never hesitate to ask for assistance or advice from these highly skilled<br />

members of the NECI faculty and staff. Their primary goal is to help you succeed and thrive. At<br />

NECI, we focus on student success and we measure our effectiveness as educators through your<br />

performance. When you are successful we are successful.<br />

We are pleased to have you with us.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Francis Voigt<br />

Founder and President<br />
