Kristen Jack, Program Director, Discusses Networking Opportunity for HTM Students

The Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer, and Food Festival is happening November 18th and 19th this year at Devos Place. Kristen Jacks, Program Director for the Hospitality and Tourism Management Program, discusses the networking and educational experiences HTM students gain by working at the event. 

"The festival is a great opportunity for our students," said Jack. "First of all, it is a great way to get them into the convention center to work and be a part of a large event. Instead of just attending, they get to see what goes on behind the scenes and learn a great deal about that aspect. Secondly, by pouring they learn about different wines, spirits, beers etc. and how to talk about them to guests and pour properly."
