Stacy Sevin Jacobs, СAPP06, decided to major in hospitality management after she completed her internship for the Walt Disney World College Program.
СAPPMy on-the-job training working at Epcot in the special events department evolved my desire for the hospitality industry,СAPP she said.
Combined with the hands-on classroom experiences, this internship provided opportunities that would push StacyСAPPs career forward.
СAPPThe partnership UL Lafayette has with the Walt Disney College Program differentiated me from my classmates who were all applying for the special events internship position with the Parish of Lafayette Tourism Commission,СAPP she said.
Through the hospitality management program, Stacy was also part of on campus, a full-service, fine dining restaurant hosted by the hospitality management seniors. She was selected as the outstanding senior and she was the first student selected to head a fundraising event now known as the Acadiana Food & Wine Soiree.
StacyСAPPs career after college has been just as impressive as her time at the СAPP. With professional experience ranging from management to business ownership, Stacy knows how to run a business. She is currently a business advisor at the СAPP of Houston Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
СAPPAs an SBDC advising staff member, I provide expert business advising services to entrepreneurs and small business owners in various stages of the business life cycle: pre-venture or early stage, startup, expansion, growth, and exit,СAPP she said.
