Clark College is hosting an information session for food cart vendors at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the main campus, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. Vendors should meet at the fountain past the Welcome Center.

The school’s culinary arts program has provided the campus’ main food service, but is being suspended for two years while it is revamped to best meet campus food service needs. The college is considering bringing food carts or trucks to campus as an interim solution while both the program and kitchens are being renovated.

The program currently “isn’t in a position to meet the food service capacity for the whole campus,” said Tim Cook, vice president of instruction.

The kitchen will close this summer and will reopen in fall 2014 with a new program. Clark College’s professional baking program will continue and the bakery will keep its regular hours.

In the 2013-2014 school year, second-year students will finish classes at Clark and get hands-on kitchen experience in off-campus internships.

Interested vendors should email foodcartsatclark@clark.edu or call 360-992-2288.
