ATHENS — When Connor Logan graduates from the University of Georgia with his degree in hospitality and food industry management, he’ll have in-depth knowledge of his chosen field and hands-on experience in food and beverage service, front desk responsibilities, revenue management, and sales and events — all the critical elements of running a big hotel.
And he’ll have been paid for the experience, interning at the UGA Center for Continuing Education & Hotel.
