As of Dec. 18th, The Envision Bistro will be closed for winter break, but the good news is that we're embarking on a new culinary adventure in 2024. Starting with the spring semester of ’24, WSU Tech’s Culinary Arts students will be bringing their passion and skills to The Envision Bistro as part of their curriculum.
