The School of Hospitality Business Alumni Reception and Dinner

May 26, 2019, not only was I in South Korea enjoying an experience of a life time being in Seoul but I was also invited to Michigan State University The School of Hospitality Business Alumni Annual Reception & Dinner at Gangnam Family Hotel. This was such an beautiful and inspiring event. The event was casual, much like a networking event that you’d attend on campus however each attendee is an alumni of your college. This made networking all the better because each person you spoke with has been in your shoes and is now in some sort of profession that either related or shares similar skill as your college. This was a very special night because the Director of the school, Dr. Borchgrevink was in attendance which was a first in Seoul. Awaiting us was a buffet of different treats and small appetizers which was followed by a main course of steak and kimchi. What made this night even special were the heartfelt stories told by each alumni of how Dr. B helped them with the adversity they faced while they were students at MSU. I was able to leave this dinner with not only additional connections but also reassurance of the education I was receiving and where it could lead me if utilized correctly.
