Telling the stories of the University of Houston, this is a UH Moment.
Thank you for calling Par Excellence at the University of Houston this is Baker, how can
I help you?
For twenty-five years students with Par Excellence have been managing and operating a first class
hospitality staffing business for upscale events. Student Matthew Riggs is the general
manager.
A caterer may call us or say you're having an event in your home and you'd like an extra
hand. We do a lot of bar tending in people's homes. They make cook or something catered
and we'll take care of the rest.
Par Ex as it's referred to by students can suggest creative ways to display your buffet,
help you find a caterer, provide ideas for accents and decorations and of course staff
events from beginning to clean up. These students will one day own their own businesses or work
in prestigious hotels or resorts.
We're an honors student organization so we do require our students to have at least completed
at least one semester in the Hotel & Restaurant Management program, have a 3.0 GPA and then
they also have to go through an interview process with our executive staff.
Par Ex penguins are for hire.
Because we're living up to our name, Par Excellence.
Par Excellence is part of what's happening at the University of Houston. I'm Marisa Ramirez.
