Dream Job Upon Graduation

A full-time position working for a hotel-development firm that focuses on creating unique and sustainable properties

I chose USC's School of Hospitality and Tourism Management because it is a program that starts on day one and guides, strengthens, and encourages you through your time in college. You will graduate knowing you got the best education, mentors, and work experiences you could ever hope for. I am so proud to have found such a welcoming home in HTMT!
