GIVING HONOR AND THANKS
This year will mark the last Hospitality Knight under the leadership of Dr. Abraham Pizam, as he begins a year-long sabbatical in August. His UCF career has spanned nearly 35 years, during which time he built the Rosen College of Hospitality Management from the ground up. Our UCF Rosen College Alumni family is thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate and honor Dean Pizam during this year's event. We need your help! We are collecting photos from our alumni documenting special moments and memories of our time with Dean Pizam here at Rosen College. All photos and stories are welcome, from the workplace to the classroom and within industry-related organizations and events. Please submit your photos to hospitality@ucfalumni.com for inclusion in a commemorative framed collage that will be presented to Dean Pizam at the conclusion of this year’s Hospitality Knight program.
