OXFORD, Miss. – Students majoring in hospitality management at the
University of Mississippi get a chance to learn from the best in the
business Friday (Oct. 30), when executives from the country’s No. 1-rated
hotel visit campus.
Michael
Bonadies, president and chief executive officer at 21c Museum Hotel in
Louisville, Ky.; Sarah Robbins, vice president of operations; and Michael
Paley, executive chef at the hotel’s Proof on Main restaurant, will talk
