What were your best experiences?

I enjoyed building relationships with my cohort. We spent 4 years learning together and leaning on each other in classes like Catering Management and the Events and Meetings course. Not only that, but I was able to participate in the International Meeting Exchange (IMEX) in Las Vegas and the Hotel Experience in New York.
