With construction underway at a new sports complex in Marion, southern Illinois will soon experience a surge in tourism, and John A. Logan College believes it’s poised to make a significant impact with the launch of its new Hospitality Management program.
The program, which officially begins this fall on October 8 during the second eight-week session, will cover various topics, including hotel management, event planning, food and beverage operations, and customer service excellence.
The curriculum will feature internships and real-world projects in partnership with local businesses, offering students valuable industry experience while contributing to the growth of the regional tourism sector.
The program will also include guest lectures from industry professionals, workshops on emerging trends, and opportunities for networking within the hospitality community.
