Dr. Charlie Calvert spoke to the Bluffton Rotary Club on Wednesday, March 5 about the relatively new Hospitality Management degree program at the University of South Carolina Beaufort. With USCB's ambitious goal of becoming one of the top 10 international programs, the institution seems to be on its way with the Hospitality Management program. USCB picks new majors to develop relative to business and area needs. With that in mind, the hospitality major is in a perfect location. Calvert refers to the Beaufort/Hilton Head/Bluffton area as a "world class laboratory" and points out the tourism market mirrors the education market. People vacation here, like the area, and choose to either marry or go to school here. Many students have said they saw the new USCB campus on the way to vacation on Hilton Head Island and decided to attend school at USCB.

As Calvert points out in the marketing brochure, "Why not study hospitality management at an international destination where over 3 million tourists come to vacation each year?"
