Behind the Scenes at Pebble Beach: Scholars Gain Exclusive Insight into World-Class Hospitality

Sixteen Pebble Beach Scholars from the Sustainable Hospitality & Tourism Management program recently enjoyed an unforgettable professional development experience with a behind-the-scenes tour of The Spa at Pebble Beach, a prestigious Forbes Five-Star destination, and Casa Palmero, one of Pebble Beach’s most exclusive properties.

The tour was led by Michelle Zimny, General Manager of Casa Palmero ; Lara Davidson Spa Director, and Nyla Gallagher Operations Manager of The Spa. All three were generous to share their time, expertise, and insights with our students. All of this was possible with the help of Jenna Fletcher, Executive Recruiter of Pebble Beach Resorts who is also a big part of the success of the Pebble Beach Scholars Program. 

This is what being a Pebble Beach Scholar is all about - personalized trainings, exclusive access, and direct learning experiences with the professionals who make Pebble Beach Company world-renowned. Through opportunities like these, students gain firsthand insight into leadership, service excellence, and innovation within the hospitality and tourism industry. Not just the Scholars, but our SHTM program is meant for making sure our students' education can build the experience to shape the next generation of hospitality leaders. 

This event marks our second “Lunch & Learn” of the year, and we’re already looking forward to what’s next!
