Lodging Management team is a 5-star performer
They take 4th in nation; ace event
Lodging Management students and New York State champions Michelle Kraft (Scotia-Glenville High School) and Mahendradat (Vish) Mangroo (Schenectady High School) scored 4th place overall at the National Lodging Management competition in Orlando, Fla., April 10-14, after winning a 1st, 2nd, 3rd in individual events. They won first place for their centerpiece, 2nd for hotel operations ( night audit, room inspection, food and beverage analysis, marketing and sales analysis), and 3rd for hospitality project (banquet event planning). Kraft's and Mangroo's performance was especially impressive, as all of the other teams in the national competition were made up of four, rather than two, students. Kraft and Mangroo won substantial scholarships to Johnson & Wales University as part of their awards.
