Goal of Program

CTE

Include any other information you would like to share.
There is currently a Hospitality Management certificate that is a lot more general and more focused on hotels and restaurants rather than event management. This certificate also requires WINE 131, which offers a collaborative opportunity with the Agriculture department.
Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.
Neither College of Marin nor Mendocino College have a similar program.

Hi Rachel, I was hoping I could save you a step and update your request that you have consulted with NVC and they are supportive of this moving forward, but alas it won't let me. Can you add that line so that Deans reviewing and voting are aware? Thank you!
