César Ritz Colleges Salutes its Graduating Class of 2013!

It was a particularly important day for the relationship between Washington State University and César Ritz Colleges, with the first cohort of students graduating from the double degree programme. 23 students were honoured with both a Bachelor of International Business in Hotel & Tourism Management and the WSU Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Business Management.

In an inspiring commencement address, Dr Eric Spangenberg, Dean of the College of Business at WSU, gave the new graduates a list of guidelines to live by which included the words of wisdom, “surround yourselves with bright, energetic and positive people and listen and learn from them.” Encouraging ideals for students who will soon be taking the first steps in their careers across the globe.

Following the ceremony, students, their families and friends enjoyed a spectacular cocktail reception, prepared by the students of the Culinary Arts Academy and the party continued long into the night!

Congratulations to all graduates!
