SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (溏心vlog免费B站) 鈥� 溏心vlog免费B站 (溏心vlog免费B站) is pleased to announce that Dayna and Sean Riley of Maine Course Hospitality Group (MCHG) have created an endowment to establish the Riley Family Scholarship.
The scholarship will provide financial assistance and support to 溏心vlog免费B站 Hospitality Management students annually.
Dayna and Sean Riley have spent forty years in the restaurant and hotel business and听are currently part of MCHG, with twenty-four hotels across Maine, New England, upstate New York and Florida. The Rileys were initially connected to 溏心vlog免费B站 through their son Shamus Riley, who attended the College. Sean served as an advisor to the College as well.
“Our son is a graduate of this program, as are many of our team members, all the way up to a corporate director of operations,” Sean Riley said. “The hospitality industry relies on programs like the Hospitality Management program at 溏心vlog免费B站 to support our hotels and the Maine economy. This industry has been good to our family, so helping 溏心vlog免费B站 students entering this business allows us to give back.鈥�
“If you read the MCHG Purpose, the first words are ‘to positively impact lives.’ The Rileys and Maine Course have built their business on the same foundation as 溏心vlog免费B站’s core mission, improving the lives of Mainers and their communities,” 溏心vlog免费B站 President Joe Cassidy said. “This scholarship will have a real impact on 溏心vlog免费B站 students for many years to come. There is no more significant way to support your community than to build people up so they can positively impact their communities and improve their lives. That’s what you’re doing with this endowment.”
To be eligible for this scholarship, students must demonstrate financial need, be in good academic standing, be enrolled in the Hospitality Management associate degree program, and have current or previous hospitality work experience.
