About Us!
The Jones Kitchen Committee is interested in building a community at Jones around cooking and baking. Historically, the committee has served Jones by whipping up snacks and comfort food after tough exams, helping Jonesians fulfill cooking needs, and holding different food-related events for the college!
This year, the committee will create that energy by doing online projects, like tutorials and challenges, that focus on engaging all Jonesians, regardless of their status. The JIBAking blog will be a collection of articles, blog posts, and videos to help Jonesians to get comfortable in the kitchen!
The Kitchen Committee was founded in 2018 by our current IVP, Hannah Kim, and is now headed by our current Kitchen Coordinator, Kami Boutotte. The committee has 13 members who are dedicating their free time for the love of all things food, and we hope to support our Jonesians in whatever way we can!
If you have any questions or want to get more information about the committee, feel free to reach out!
