Nightclub & Bar is honored to congratulate three students for winning the Johnson & Wales Student Fellowship. After receiving an overwhelming amount of applications this year, Nightclub & Bar is excited to extend the award to an additional applicant, making for three winners. This year’s winners are Michael Taberski, Nicholas Zamora, and Peter Waite. Each of them displayed a level of knowledge, professionalism, and motivation that proved that their participation in the Nightclub & Bar Show this year would benefit their understanding of the industry.
“Three of our applicants stood out from this year’s excellent group. We are grateful to Nightclub & Bar for offering to increase the number of fellowships from two to three, allowing us to reward all three of these exceptional candidates,” said Brian J. Warrener, Associate Professor at Johnson & Wales University.
Each of the fellows will be provided admission to the Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada with three nights lodging and a $400.00 stipend to defray the costs of travel and expenses. The selected Student Fellows will also be featured on Nightclub.com and will be celebrated during an awards ceremony at the upcoming 2015 Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show, March 30 – April 1.
In order for eligibility, students had to be 21 years of age at the beginning of the Convention and Trade show in order to attend the event.
