A message from our Dean
I extend the warmest of welcomes as we begin another promising academic year. It is a great pleasure to see familiar faces return and to welcome our new Frosh, especially the first cohorts of our innovative BS in Culinary Arts Management and BS in Hospitality and Luxury Management programs. We are also delighted to have international exchange students from La Salle Beauvais and Vatel Réunion join our vibrant community. We’re thrilled to host you here, to learn from you, and to share in this academic journey with you.
This upcoming year at SHRIM is no doubt exciting. We have the soft opening of the Vatel Restaurant at the Atrium Campus, which will not only enhance our students’ practical and professional experience but also bring your talent to the rest of our Benildean community. All our new developments have, indeed, been designed to equip you with the skills to be real-world ready—from the newly renovated laboratory facilities on campus, to our enhanced internship programs. Additionally, we have expanded the destinations of our educational tours, offering invaluable opportunities to explore diverse cultures and foster valuable connections for your future careers.
As we finally reflect on the past year, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed their talent, dedication, and effort for the milestones we have achieved—and in ways, this has become a tradition that we strive to uphold every academic year. In particular, the success of the recent and inaugural Br. Andrew Gonzalez Academia-Industry Conference was a testament to the collective efforts of our faculty, associates, students, and industry partners. Thank you for your continued support and participation—may this upcoming year bring forth many opportunities filled with growth, learning, and accomplishment.
As we look forward to what lies ahead, I can’t help but be filled with gratitude for the incredible people who make up our SHRIM community. Thank you for coming to be a part of it, and a warm welcome to all!

Every Nook and Corner Tells a Story
SHRIM adheres to the philosophy that superior education culminates in practice. Our campus, the Angelo King International Center (AKIC), houses industry-standard kitchen laboratories where students apply what they learned through hands-on experience.
SHRIM invests heavily in industry-standard laboratory facilities and training facilities internally called Hatcheries. These include a 50-room 4-star hotel, a travel & tours office, a fine dining French restaurant, a gourmet cafe, an off-premise catering unit, and a cafeteria and quick service food facility. These hatcheries do not only teach the necessary skills but also the important components of operations, marketing and entrepreneurship.
