Hospitality leadership at Desert Vista plans to reopen catering branch in October

By QUENTIN AGNELLOPima Post It is no secret that the Desert Vista Campus is well known for its Culinary Arts and Hospitality program.

(Courtesy Pima Theatre and Digital Arts, illustration by Loyda Vance and text/design by Cynthia Bastidas) By QUENTIN S. AGNELLOPima Post Theater arts can have a tendency to be overly complicated and dramatic. Even modern plays have similar aspects of Shakespearean classics, which can make it difficult to get kids interested.
