Several Washington State University faculty members were featured as guest speakers during the Tri-Cities’ first Food and Beverage Retention and Expansion Opportunities (FABREO) expo last month.
Speakers from WSU included Thomas Henick-Kling, director of the viticulture and enology program; Robert Harrington, new WSU Tri-Cities’ professor of hospitality business management who will lead the recently added wine business management degree option; Akram Hossain, interim vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and external programs at WSU Tri-Cities; and Scott Koopman, manager of WSU TRi-Cities’ career development.
Following the seminars, expo attendees made their way around to mingle with regional food and wine vendors, while getting the chance to sample food and beverage products made by companies around the region, including WSU student-made premium Blended Learning wines and Cougar Gold, Crimson Fire and Smoky Cheddar cheeses!
