Thank you to Jereme Pozin, Rebecca Cohen, Todd Fisher, Lynn Desjarlais, Jesse Ramirez, Matt Cummings, and Nicole Corsetti who volunteered.”
Nadzak’s property provided bagels, country fried potatoes and orange juice. Families also enjoyed pancakes, sausage links and eggs.

The UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management Alumni Chapter, with support of the RCLAC, will plan several UCF Rosen alumni events throughout the academic year. Hotel alumni representatives will infuse with the chapter to discuss networking, mentorship opportunities and more. Periodically, the hotel collectives will meet on property with employees who are graduates of the UCF Rosen College to connect and discuss ways to support the college and the UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management Alumni Chapter.
UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management alumni are a global community, representing all 50 states and several countries. The UCF Alumni Association’s mission is to enhance the lives of UCF alumni, parents, students and friends by fostering a mutually beneficial relationship with the university.
