Here is a testimony from Andrew Alfano, Chief Executive Officer of Retro Fitness.

Andrew has generously hosted many of our students, and each experience has been incredibly impactful. We are deeply grateful for leaders like him who invest their time, mentorship, and trust into the next generation.
Opportunities like these allow our students to grow, learn, and make a real impact in the communities around them, and we don’t take that lightly. Thank you, Andrew, for hosting an intern and helping shape future franchise leaders.

We are still actively seeking internship opportunities for our franchising students. Even if you are located in another state, remote internships are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you to all the companies and leaders who continue to support and invest in our franchising students, we couldn’t do this without you.

Franchise Expo South occurs Jan. 16-17, 2026 at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center south of West Palm Beach. The expo presents an opportunity for students to attend franchise-related seminars and review exhibit booths where there are franchisors, franchisees and franchise development personnel. Come and see the variety of franchise opportunities available. 
The expo producer, MFV Expositions, a member of the Titus Center Advisory Board, extends free registration to Titus Center Students including Entrepreneurship & Franchising majors and students who have elected the Concentration in Franchising.
If you choose to attend the expo either day, Titus Center offers the following:
·      $50 allowance per day per student for food but you must turn in your receipt(s) within 7 days of returning. 
·      Travel (mileage) reimbursement – we prefer students travel together. It’s not required but it’s more economical (and more fun) for students to travel together. Titus Center will reimburse the driver/owner of the vehicle for mileage. To receive reimbursement, you must submit a Google map with your home address as the starting point and the convention center as the destination.
·      Parking for one or both days at the convention center. You must submit a parking receipt within 7 days of returning.  Note: There’s no reimbursement for overnight stay.
