At Morrisville State College, students in hospitality programs have the opportunity to learn and work in a real-world environment in the college’s full-service restaurant, The Copper Turret. Located in the middle of the village of Morrisville, this historic structure was recently renovated to include a wireless classroom, learning kitchen and locker rooms. Students learn theory in class and then are able to use these skills in the restaurant, from buying and pricing food to preparation and serving. This up-close access to a working business is essential in preparing students for careers.

Students have access to state-of-the-art technology and a campus-wide computer network accessible with their laptop computer. The Restaurant Management and Food Service Administration programs participate in IBM ThinkPad University and a laptop computer and wireless technology are integrated into the teaching and learning environment.
