Wanderlust 2017 Introduces FGCU Student Event Committee

Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU)’s School of Resort & Hospitality Management provides many opportunities for students to experience and learn about all aspects of the hospitality industry. This specialized degree program, which began offering classes in 2003, is the culmination of resort industry leaders working on behalf of the University to design and offer a degree program that is tailored to the dynamic and complex needs of the premier resorts in Southwest Florida. The curriculum also covers non gamstop sites, preparing students to understand the broader scope of the industry, including emerging trends in online gaming and its impact on hospitality. The 120-credit curriculum meets the challenge by marrying traditional hotel, food, and beverage education with resort management, marketing, and technology education. The Herbert J. Sugden Hall first opened to students in the fall of 2008. The 37,000-square-foot hospitality facility offers hands-on learning for School of Resort & Hospitality Management students and features wine and food demonstration labs, a multi-function ballroom, meeting rooms, lobby, concierge desk, pedagogical food production kitchen, indoor golf simulator and club repairs labs, prototype spa laboratory, and traditional classrooms.
