James Fu started as an engineering major in 2014. Ten years later, he’s engineering flavors at Din Tai Fung Restaurant Group . 🥟🥢 Fu graduated from CPP in 2018 with a degree in hospitality management from The Collins College, ranked the No. 6 hospitality management school in the world by CEO Magazine. While originally starting off as an engineering major, he found that he didn’t have the same passion for STEM as he did when helping at his grandma’s restaurants. He used his culinary background to excel working at CPP’s student-run The Restaurant At Kellogg Ranch (RKR) and as a teaching assistant in Jones’ Wines of the World advanced course. Fu now works as the corporate chef at global chain Din Tai Fung, traveling to various locations around the country to audit food quality and assist with opening new restaurants. He still gives back to CPP, participating in career fairs and volunteering to serve as professors for a day. He credits the RKR with helping him get to his current level of success. “I still implement a lot of the knowledge I learned at Collins today.” - Fu Read more about Broncos on the Rise: https://bit.ly/3YrVoaY Read more about the Collins College No. 6 ranking: https://bit.ly/4dorbO5

There’s no such thing as a dumb question, so feel free to ask away.”- Tracy  📝“Don’t be afraid to mess up! Trust your intuition and learn as you go.
