Cheers Magazine Announces Its 2008 Cheers Beverage Scholarship Winners
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
NORWALK, Conn., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheers, the beverage magazine for
full-service restaurants and bars, recently announced its Cheers Beverage
Scholarship winners from the Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I.
For the past three years, Cheers, a publication of The Beverage Information
Group, has given a scholarship to outstanding students at Johnson & Wales'
College of Culinary Arts, who are enrolled in the college's Beverage
Concentration. This year's winners, Valerie Rogers of Santa Fe, Ariz., Thomas
Mottl of Alliance, Neb., and Casey Wright of Boonton Twp., N.J., each received
their scholarships during an awards presentation on April 24 at the College of
Culinary Arts. The three will share in the $2,500 scholarship that is awarded
to students on the basis of merit and faculty recommendations.
Each winner is headed on a very different career path within the beverage
industry. Rogers says she hopes to use her beverage education to create unique
wine and dessert pairings; Mottl plans to open a brewpub post graduation; and
Wright wants to be a liaison between wineries and wholesalers and is planning
to study abroad for sommelier training.
"We are thrilled to be able to help students advance their studies in the
beverage industry, which offers so many interesting and diverse career
options," says Charles Forman, The Beverage Information Group's senior vice
president and group publisher. "The Cheers Beverage Scholarship winners we
have met over the years are remarkably focused young individuals with unique
skill sets."
Johnson & Wales' beverage program is the largest concentration in the
university's hospitality college with 188 students, an enrollment increase of
18 percent over last year, according to Ed Korry, Johnson & Wales' department
chair of beverage and dining services. Students at the Providence, R.I.,
campus can choose to earn the optional beverage concentration within their
bachelor's degree program.
