The Student Experience

The Spice Box course required me to apply several years of information to one evening and the fragments I had learned from a variety of classes came together to create a perfect event. We are often told that coursework will one day be needed in the real world, but the fine dining class pulled all of the pieces together right before our eyes. My favorite thing about the Spice Box was the opportunity to create valuable relationships with my classmates, the instructors and in turn the community. Knowing that our classmates are the future leaders of the hospitality industry, the fine dining class allowed us to share managerial experiences and strategies before venturing into the real world. The rate of failure in the hospitality industry is enormous; yet, the Spice Box permits us to learn from our mistakes and improve managerial decision making in a safe environment before facing real world consequences. ... My meal in the Spice Box gave me greater confidence in my education and assurance in my future ambitions.
