CulEx 2025: An American Harvest — the Schoolcraft College Foundation’s signature fundraising event — will bring Nashville to campus on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The celebration takes place inside the Vistatech Center at Schoolcraft College, 18600 Haggerty Road in Livonia, and kicks off with the Sponsor Pre-Glow at 5:30 p.m., followed by the main event at 6 p.m.
Guests will enjoy an evening of dinner, dancing, live music, kitchen tours and more. The strolling farm-to-table menu features seasonal small plates and pastries prepared by the College’s award-winning Culinary Arts students and Master Chefs. Between bites, guests can explore state-of-the-art facilities – including the kitchens that host the Certified Master Chef exam for the American Culinary Federation – the American Harvest restaurant run by culinary students, and the Collaborative Learning Studio, a one-of-a-kind demonstration kitchen that opened in 2023.
This evening’s libation highlights include exclusive brews from the College’s Brewing and Distillation program, whiskey tastings from Detroit City Distillery and Nashville-inspired craft cocktails from Alchemi. Dance the night away with live tunes from The Fox and the Fiddle, followed by DJ-led fun that’ll keep the energy high all evening long.
“CulEx is more than a fundraiser — it’s a one-of-a-kind experience that brings our community together to support students and the future of education,” said Dawn Magretta, Executive Director of the Schoolcraft College Foundation. “It’s truly a unique evening you won’t find anywhere else.”
