UNLVino offers
an exceptional educational opportunity to Hotel College
students. The William F. Harrah College of Hotel
Administration, Department of Food and Beverage Management
offers UNLVino® as a working laboratory to select
students. The capstone class, FAB 366 UNLVino® Management,
gives students hands-on experience in managing operations,
marketing, and volunteers as well as developing sponsorship
and vendor participation. The class is divided into
three teams, Marketing whose task is to get the word
out to the local media, Culinary whose task is to
gather donated food and prepare it for the event
and Events whose task is to recruit 300 to 400 student
volunteers, arrange for Serving Alcohol With Care
classes for all then help coordinate the operational
aspects. All groups come together on event day to
supervise the enormous undertaking.
“
How many students at other universities can say they
participated in the planning, organization, management
and execution of an event attended by over 6,000
people?” asks Chef Hertzman.
“UNLVino® is
the perfect way to unite the students to serve a
common goal: to make each UNLVino® the best ever!”
“
This is where the academic is left behind and working
knowledge begins,” says Professor Mohsen Azizsoltani, “UNLVino® is
a really great opportunity for the students”.
“
Most college students graduate with nothing but a
grade point average and a big debt. The UNLVino® management
class gets to add the fact that they helped manage
a major convention at prestigious Las Vegas destinations
to their resume – real, practical experience.
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than getting a
call from an industry manager saying, ‘I hired
one of your students a year ago and she has already
stepped up to a supervisor’s position. Please,
can you recommend another from the class?’”
