Stephen F. Austin State University

Hospitality students in Stephen F. Austin State University's James I. Perkins College of Education volunteered with the university's Project RAICES, a grant-funded initiative to increase the number of ESL-certified teachers in East Texas and to provide resources to parents of English learners, during its two community events this semester Oct. 7 and Nov. 18. Taught by Dr. Gina Fe Causin, associate professor of hospitality administration, the School of Human Sciences' course "Meetings, Events, Expositions and Technology" had 16 students who participated in the event. The course aims to introduce students to the roles and organizations that work in the meetings, events, expositions and technology industry.
