THIBODAUX — ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ and Delgado Community College signed a memorandum of understanding Sunday making it easier for culinary students to cross-enroll at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ and Delgado, as well as to seamlessly transfer between both schools. The agreement was signed at the inaugural Dinner of the Century in New Orleans, a fundraiser benefiting the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½. Dinner of the Century celebrates dinners of the past. This year’s event commemorated the 200th anniversary of the “Defense of Fort McHenry,â€� the poem that would eventually become our national anthem, by recreating a dinner by President James Madison and his wife, Dolley.
