The University of Aruba’s Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Management Studies (FHTMS) will host its fifth anniversary fundraising dinner, “A Mediterranean Night in Provence,” on May 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the University of Aruba.
The event promises a sophisticated evening inspired by Mediterranean flavors and the charm of Provence, offering guests a unique culinary and cultural experience while supporting the continued growth of hospitality education in Aruba.
More than a fundraising initiative, the dinner serves as a fully immersive, student-led learning experience. Organized as part of the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) course, the event represents the culmination of students’ academic journey, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting. From initial concept development and planning to execution and service, students are responsible for every aspect of the evening.
Throughout the event, guests will be served by students who have carefully designed and prepared the experience, providing them with invaluable hands-on training in hospitality and event management. The initiative not only supports the faculty but also creates a meaningful opportunity for students to develop professional skills in a live environment.
By attending the fundraising dinner, guests are not only contributing to the advancement of hospitality education but also actively supporting the next generation of industry professionals as they showcase their skills and dedication.
