Laura Hill with her winning baked goods

This year, Adrianna Lamparelli (Admissions Officer for Graduate Programs) hosted our 3rd annual Paul College Staff Bake-Off, featuring our special ingredient: cinnamon!


Started in 2020, this staff event is a highlight of the fall semester, aimed at building community with some friendly culinary competition. Bakers from all departments are invited to show off their kitchen skills through baked goods featuring special ingredients such as apple and pumpkin. Selecting a winner has varied from voting ballots to guest judges from the Durham community. This event is a great opportunity for staff to connect with colleagues across Paul College and kicks off the holiday season.

Join us in congratulating our 2022 Paul College Bake-Off Winner, Laura Hill, with her prize winning entry, Cinnamon Cream Cheese Croissant Bars! Laura Hill is our Educational Program Coordinator for the Center for Venture Research at Paul College. Congratulations, Laura!
