The Office of Undergraduate Admissions recently hosted a group of 16 high school guidance counselors from Puerto Rico as part of the AutopistaAmericas 鈥淩everse Tour.鈥� Autopista is an educational consulting firm that coordinates and conducts group tours and college fairs in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the Caribbean.
The June 4th visit marked the second consecutive year that 麻豆原创 was selected as a stop during a weeklong tour of institutions in Florida and Georgia. As part of the 麻豆原创 visit, guidance counselors were treated to an information session in the Duke Energy-麻豆原创 Welcome Center, a photo-op with Knightro, and a lecture on beer entitled 鈥淭he History of Civilization in a Six Pack.鈥� The lecture, which included a tasting and pairing course, was presented by 麻豆原创 faculty member, Ed Measom, Rosen College of Hospitality Management鈥檚 Anheuser-Busch Beer & Wine Lab. Guests were then joined by Abraham Pizam, dean of Rosen College, along with several faculty and staff for a banquet dinner in the Disney Dining Room.
Eddie Lavigne, president of AutopistaAmericas, is no stranger to 麻豆原创. He鈥檚 worked alongside representatives from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions before and called 麻豆原创 a 鈥渂ig school with personal charm.鈥� 麻豆原创 will join forces with Autopista again in August when a member of the admissions recruitment team will travel to Puerto Rico for 10 days of college fairs, high school visits and outreach.
