Widener University students prepare meal for Salvation
Army on Nov. 21
Chester, Pa. – Students in Widener University’s Center
for Experience Management in Tourism and Hospitality will learn a holiday
lesson in giving, as they serve a delicious Thanksgiving meal to Chester
residents at the Salvation Army on Wednesday, Nov. 21.
Approximately 25 students – a mix of first-year
students in the “Introduction to the Tourism and Hospitality Industry” course
and seniors in the “Co-Op Leadership Development Course” – will prepare and
serve the annual feast.
The students have been fundraising to purchase food,
planning the menu, calculating ingredients and preparing the food in advance.
Come Wednesday, they will be ready with all the Thanksgiving favorites, from
stuffing and yams to turkey and pies.
Last year, a tourism and hospitality management
senior, Nancy Cusmano, said the experience was very special as she embarks on
her career path. “It is such a great feeling knowing I can give back and give
that happy feeling to someone else. We are hospitality majors so being able to
give someone that happy experience is something I strive do with my career.”
