Vision Hospitality Immersion Program
Update on Spring 2020 Immersion Program
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Gary W. Rollins College of Business is committed to protecting the health of our students and helping the slow-potential spread of the novel coronavirus in Tennessee.
In accordance with the University's recently announced policy on events, the Vision Hospitality Immersion Program (hosted in partnership with Vision Hospitality Group) is canceled for Spring 2020. Thank you for your patience during this challenging time. The safety of our students, faculty, staff, and community remains our top priority.
Vision Hospitality Group and the Gary W. Rollins College of Business are hosting a week-long Hospitality Immersion Program for students interested in exploring careers in hotel management, development, event management, operations and other areas of the hospitality industry. Chattanooga-based Vision Hospitality Group owns and manages select- and full-service hotels affiliated with the Hilton, Marriott and InterContinental brands around the United States. Their properties consistently rank in the top tiers for guest service and quality.
