Travis McGregor prepare food at a cooking competition at Johnson and Whales University – Charlotte (JWU) during United States Marine Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 7, 2018. The competition challenged participants to use at least two ingredients from Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) in their meals. Teams consisted of one Marine, one JWU culinary student and one local chef. JWU’s Culinary Arts degree teaches students the art and craft of cooking as well as business and management skills, science and nutrition and global citizenship. JWU has nearly 2,000 enrolled students who are pursuing career success through 12 degree programs in facilities that include six buildings on 13 acres in Uptown Charlotte. Marine Week Charlotte is the premier community engagement event that each year allows the Marine Corps to connect with citizens of great American cities, generating awareness and maintaining mutual understanding and support between the Corps and those it serves.
