Hotel and Restaurant Management undergraduate degrees
As an event programmer, I’ve been the planning force behind some of our biggest concerts, important speakers, and fun events for students. Here, I’ve had to push myself by learning to make hard decisions, direct a group of people, and think creatively. I feel like I’ve accomplished exactly what I wanted to do—create memorable experiences for others. Along the way, I also reshaped myself into a more confident person.
