PHILIPSBURG:--- The University of St. Martin’s Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) Hospitality students are going to host The Sky’s the Limit: USM takes on Europe Fundraising Gala on Saturday, December 10th 2016.
The students have been doing practical assignments for the past year including a Fundraising Barbeque for their Food and Beverage Course, internships at local hotels and now a Fundraising Gala for their Developing Manager Course to obtain their Associate’s Degree. While on their journey they are acquiring the skills needed to become a manager in the hospitality industry. The gala will take place at Rock House, Port-de-Plaisance, and will include a dinner, dance, silent auction and guest performance by St. Maarten’s well-known artist, Oswald.
The fundraising gala is themed “The Sky’s The Limit: USM Takes On Europe”, as they are planning to go on an educational trip to Europe in April 2017. The trip will afford every student the opportunity to explore and discover new cultures, experience the many different things the industry has to offer, as visitors and potential new faces of the St. Maarten Hospitality industry.
The students are greatly looking forward to making their gala a success to provide the necessary funds to be able to go on their European trip. Tickets are available at Van Dorp located in Madame Estate, as well by individual BTEC students for $100. Sponsorships and donations are welcomed to support the future hospitality professionals of St. Maarten. They can be contacted via email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
