Peter Kim, a former Crimson Tide football player and founder of the Yummy Restaurant Group in Hawaii, offered our Restaurant, Hotels & Meetings Management students a chance to spend a month-long internship working in his restaurants and corporate office in Honolulu . A highly competitive group of interested students filled out applications and wrote 500 word essays in the hopes of winning one of the two coveted internships. We congratulate Megan Birkes and Kristina Osborn for being selected as the recipients of this marvelous opportunity. They will each be given round-trip airfare, lodging, and two meals a day plus, of course, the opportunity to work and learn first-hand from a successful restaurateur. We thank Peter Kim for his generosity and his commitment to students' success.
Megan Birkes is a rising senior from Orlando, FL. She is an RHM major with a concentration in Event Planning and is looking forward to getting to see the full picture of the industry from the back-of-house to the corporate office. She would like to work as a Hospitality Director on a cruise ship after graduating and eventually be able to mentor others in professional development.
Kristina Osborn is a rising senior from Latta, SC. She is also an RHM major but with a concentration in Hotels. She is eager to gain an understanding of how a corporate office operates and how they incorporate ideas into the workplace. She plans on pursuing a graduate degree and then is open to wherever the industry takes her.
We are proud of these two young women and wish them all the best. Aloha!
