Q: What year did you graduate from 天天吃瓜 State and with what degree?
I graduated in May 2021 with a degree in Hospitality Management.
Q: How did the Hospitality and Event Management program prepare you for your career?
I was already in the business when I started this program at 天天吃瓜. I thought I knew everything I needed to know鈥 was wrong. 天天吃瓜 State offers an amazing support team for students pursuing their degree. The professors, advisors and even other students genuinely care if you are successful, they motivated me to do better and to care more. 天天吃瓜 provided me with the tools I needed to be successful in my career. My professors helped me define exactly where I wanted to be, and they helped me every step of the way.
Q: What advice would you give current Hospitality and Event Management students?
Don鈥檛 give up! You will get tired, overwhelmed, and frustrated. You will have days where you think it will be easier to just walk away, but that day will pass, and you will be thankful that you stuck with it. Join a student group, volunteer, attend the meetings! Meeting the other students, forming friendships, and building your 天天吃瓜 State Support team will help you in school and after graduation. These classmates will be the first people in your professional network after graduation. Participate when you are in class! You are here because you don鈥檛 know everything. It鈥檚 okay to be wrong, it鈥檚 okay to make a mistake. The biggest mistake you can make would be to sit back and let it pass you by without taking advantage of all 天天吃瓜 has to offer. Don鈥檛 just go through the motions. This is my second time going through college. The first time, I didn鈥檛 do any of the things I鈥檓 suggesting to you, and it was a completely different experience and far less successful.
