Our HSMAI student chapter recently had the opportunity to visit Tampa to learn about hospitality!

At Hotel Flor Tampa, students learned from hospitality leaders and explore the guest experience firsthand. Thank you to Asa Harris, Director of Sales & Marketing, and the Hotel Flor team for welcoming our students and investing in the next generation of hospitality professionals.

The students also had the chance to visit the Visit Tampa Bay office with the help of Patrick Harrison, Chief Marketing Officer, to learn more about the tourism industry in Tampa.

Thank you again to all those that made this engaging experience possible!

Matthew Swezey graduated from the Dedman College in fall 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management. Today, he serves as executive chef and co-owner of Black Radish, the Tallahassee restaurant he helped open in 2022.

Black Radish is known for its seasonal, vegetable-focused dishes, handmade pastas, and locally sourced ingredients. In July, the restaurant was selected for the 2026 MICHELIN Guide.

We are proud to see a Dedman alumnus leading a restaurant recognized by the MICHELIN Guide. Congratulations to Matthew and the entire Black Radish team! 👏

Finding your right major often starts by being open to new experiences. Each opportunity to get involved, make connections, and try something new can reveal a passion you may not have known was there.

For Megan Muma, that willingness to get involved led to experiences across different areas of the hospitality industry. Her time with the FSU Student Union, the Disney College Program, and Marriott Vacations Worldwide helped her discover that events are where she feels most at home.
