Hello all!
I just acquired some great news in one of my classes earlier today! For graduating seniors within the Hospitality and Tourism major, they must complete the HTMT 488 capstone course: Strategic Hospitality and Tourism Management. This class focuses on utilizing all skills and knowledge acquired throughout the entirety of the student's education The final project is to create a usable business plan for local hospitality organizations within the greater Charleston area. At the end of the semester, each team must present their business plan to a board of judges selected by the course's teacher, Dr. Robert Frash. Among the judges were figures from local banks, investment groups, food and beverage establishments, event planning companies, etc.
The winning team,--Michael Dion, Jenny Hepp, and Lauren Vinciguerra,--received the Hospitality and Tourism Management Outstanding Business Plan Award. Their plan was focused around a dessert and wine bar establishment, Corkscrews & Confections. The group received a cash prize and plenty of recognition within the department. This is quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!
