Students from the Travis High School Hospitality program received a welcome surprise last Friday when the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Convention and Visitor's Bureau and the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Hotel and Lodging Association made a generous donation to help grow the program.
Mayor Lee Leffingwell, a proud Travis High School alumni, and Bob Landers, CEO and President of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Convention and Visitor's Bureau, were both on hand to recognize the program and present the award to Travis High School Principal Ty Davidson and hospitality instructor Jayma Vaughan.
The donation was a part of the CVB's annual hospitality luncheon where Travis hospitality students created unique recipes that represented the amazing spirit of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and had their desserts prepared by the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Convention Center's chefs and served to over 700 diners.
Students in the program participate in business internships around the city, including Hyatt ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Wyndham ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Holiday Inn Lady Bird Lake, Four Seasons ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Radisson, and the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
