HOS 210 Event Planning Practicum

This course takes an experiential learning approach, using meetings and events at the college as laboratory exercises that allow students concentrating in Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Expositions (MICE) to put basic planning theories and processes into practice in real time. Students participate from the beginning stages of planning through event execution, getting involved in goal setting, meeting design, logistics, site and food and beverage contracting, room set up, risk planning, marketing, and evaluation. Participants get a chance to build the teamwork, stakeholder communication, problem- solving skills, and professionalism needed to succeed in the industry. Prerequisite: HOS 190. 4 quarter hours
