Exchange of Practices in the Food and Beverage Value Chain through Bilateral Study Abroad between Lima, Peru and the Finger Lakes Region of New York
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and Universidad del Pacífico (UP) aim to internationalize their hospitality and business curricula through the integration of a two-week bi-directional, faculty-led exchange in a course on the food and beverage supply chain. During their time abroad, students will visit companies to examine regional best practices and interact with industry representatives from food and beverage producers, suppliers, and retail operators. Through this program, students will develop projects to share the learned global practices with public and private sector industry and trade organizations in the region.
