The International Hotel Development and Asset Management Specialization, a program of the Glion Institute of Higher Education, headed by Mr. Jonathan Humphries, has organized a two-day academic fieldtrip to Geneva on November 13th and 14th 2018. The students have been accompanied by Mr. Jackson Dang, lecturer and Mr. Jonathan Humphries.

The fieldtrip has been an enriching educational experience, bridging the gap between academic learning and industry. It provided immersive, real-world experience to Semester 7 students, while enhancing their future professional and vocational direction, as they will be soon graduating. The product visits, as the students experienced the latest product and service trends in Geneva, have been a key component in facilitating students’ learning.

 

One of the students assesses: “The overall learning has been amazing, I have explored a lot about the asset management of the hotel, the structure of hotel operation. I had an opportunity to ask questions and explore my future potential job.” Dmitry Prokopenko, Student.

 

A big thanks to our industry partners, for their time, commitment and for sharing their expertise and experience with our Glion students:
