What a semester it has been! With the last
weeks graduation now behind us everyone is looking forward to the deserved
summer ahead. The June 2010 graduation saw 26 students graduate with the Swiss
Higher Diploma, 5 with the Bachelor in Hospitality and Tourism Management and 3
Post Graduates in Hospitality Management. It truly was an exciting semester
from our excursions to Mauler, Feldschlossen, Montreux Palace Hotel and
Bellevue Palace in Bern to the outstanding second year banquet with more than
80 guests.
During the semester we received a welcomed
IT lab upgrade bringing 4 of the latest Macs and the launch of Windows 7 to all
machines. Up and coming next semester we will be launching Fidelio Opera in the
Second Semester Front Office classes, which everyone is excited about.
We now head into week 19 and IHTTI is
offering Summer Sessions first time . The sessions welcome seven students
covering Finance, IT and Management Principles. So we have a couple of busy
weeks ahead.
As many of you will have already heard Mrs
Mathilde Armour is taking on her new role as Alumni and IRF Project Manager and
I am pleased to announce we have Mrs Marie Tirvengadum stepping into the
position. Mrs Tirvengadum brings
with her over 10 years of industry experience in the United Kingdom and a Degree
in Hospitality Management. Please join me in extending her a warm welcome.
I hope this reaches you all in the best of
health. As always it would be great to hear where you are in your careers and
life, so feel free to drop any of us at IHTTI an email, quick call or even pop
into the school to say hello.
