Averett University is introducing a new program thanks to a donation from Caesars Virginia. Caesars Virginia is providing Averett with $504,000 to develop a hospitality and tourism academic program.

General Manager of Caesars Virginia, Chris Albrecht, has hopped on board with the ‘All-In, All Averett’ initiative.

“Well, I love that you’ve adopted our spirit of all-in. That’s what we use around the core of what we do in the casino world. And there’s nothing that we’re more all-in on than education,” Albrecht said.

The program will include courses like Introduction to the Hospitality and Tourism Industry, Lodging Operations, and Food and Beverage Management, with electives such as Casino, Resort and Club Management, and Facility Design.
