Starting with appetizers and ending with dessert, students in University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee's School of Hospitality and Tourism Management wowed attendees of the 12th annual Hospitabull dinner March 26.
The meal, organized, prepared and served by USF hospitality students with the help of pros from Michael’s On East, gave the students an educational opportunity and the more than 200 guests a tasty meal.
Complete with a silent auction and a paddle raise by emcee Michael Klauber, the event’s proceeds benefit the school of hospitality that made the evening possible.
