A great day in HOSP 16003 – Introduction to Hospitality Management! 🍍

We were thrilled to welcome Omar Kasim, owner and founder of Plomo Quesadillas, to speak with our students about entrepreneurship, the restaurant business, and what it really takes to turn an idea into a successful hospitality concept.

Omar has also been a tremendous supporter and mentor to University of Arkansas students, generously sharing his time, experience, and industry knowledge to help prepare the next generation of hospitality professionals. Opportunities like this allow our students to learn directly from successful local entrepreneurs while making meaningful connections within the Northwest Arkansas hospitality community.

Thank you, Omar, for continuing to invest in our students and the future of hospitality! ❤️🐗🍍
