The HFIM major has partnered with UGA’s Public Service and Outreach (PSO) Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel (Georgia Center) in providing UGA’s experiential efforts specific to hospitality management. Through consistently scheduled semester tours, integrated case work linked to their hospitality operations, and internship assignments, the Georgia Center is providing a foundational experience for HFIM majors. The proposed renovations will build on these opportunities and greatly enhance the depth of programming available to HFIM students thereby closing the gap between the burgeoning UGA program and more mature hospitality management programs within the U.S. To elevate the HFIM student learning environment, the Georgia Center is committing a portion of two levels of office space located adjacent to Sanford Drive to be renovated for a new, approximately 3,300 sf commercial teaching kitchen and for an approximate 4,200 sf event management lab.
