Hospitality Students at UAM-CTC
Receive National Accreditation From ServSafe (7/6/09)
MONTICELLO, AR — Four students enrolled in the hospitality services
program at the UAM College of Technology at Crossett recently received the
nationally recognized and accredited ServSafe Food Protection Certification.
Students receiving certification were Cassandra Brown of Crossett, Sandra
Powell of Warren, Charlotte Fox of Crossett, and Ashley Snyder of Crossett.
The certification is given to students who pass the Arkansas ServSafe
Examination and is used to set the standard in food safety training and
certification. Hospitality services students prepared for the exam with
instructor Alice Lindsey by studying the key areas of basic food safety.
Assistance was also provided by the Arkansas Hospitality Association (AHA),
the official voice of the restaurant and entertainment, hotel and lodging,
and travel and tourism industries in Arkansas.
The UAM-CTC hospitality services program is designed to prepare students for
careers in hotel and restaurant management, tourism, or guest services and
includes supervised internships. In addition to preparing students for
entry-level positions in the hospitality industry, the program enhances the
skills of individuals currently employed in lodging, gaming, entertainment
venues, and restaurants.
