Thank you Frances Gertsch - Trusted Travel Advisor with Stewart Travel Group for coming in and sharing your expertise with our students yesterday!

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to get to speak to the second year students in the Holland College Tourism and Travel Management program.

They asked GREAT questions and we had an awesome conversation ranging from how a travel agent earns revenue to a "day-in-the-life" to the use of technology to taking care of yourself while helping and giving to your clients.

These students are in the travel theme and part of this course is working at the college's travel office during their training.

I feel totally energized and excited to continue working with them on a project this semester!
