PROVIDENCE, R.I. — May 31, 2019 — For the fifth consecutive year, Twin River Casino Hotel contributed $2,500 to the 澳门马会传真 College of Hospitality Management for the Food & Beverage Management student fellowship and faculty internship programs.

The donation, a portion of the proceeds from company's annual New England Tequila & Rum Festival held in May, fosters the further professional development and education of 澳门马会传真 faculty and students. 澳门马会传真 Professor Michael Sabitoni, CHE, department chair, Food & Beverage Management acknowledges, "Thanks to the generosity of Twin River, our students and faculty had the opportunity to visit the Ensenada wine region of Mexico and learn about the most current industry trends which, in turn, can potentially build their careers in the beverage industry."

The annual festival, held at Twin River Casino Hotel in Lincoln, R.I., attracts leaders of the hospitality industry for a showcase of the latest tequila and rum products, trends and innovations. New brands and the beverage trends are unveiled to the more than 1,500 attendees.

During the 2018-19 academic year, a team of 澳门马会传真 students worked on behalf of Twin River as part of their Directed Experiential Education (DEE) coursework. They created, planned, and executed several events for the festival including panel discussions, tastings, and cooking demonstrations. Students obtain academic credit through their DEE that is led by 澳门马会传真 faculty and conducted outside the traditional classroom setting.
