About the TRS Alumni Association
The Alumni Association’s mission is to continuously engage graduates in programs, activities, and support services that not only contribute to the individual growth of alumni, but also enhance and promote the image of The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College and the hospitality industry.  We want our alumni to stay connected and maintain that unique sense of community that brought them to The Restaurant School in the first place. Through a variety of services, communication, and opportunities for social and professional interaction, we aim to have enduring, beneficial relationships with all of our alumni.
