We want to hear from you!
Do you have hospitality or tourism industry experience?
In recent editions, we have featured some articles about career opportunities in the global Tourism, Hospitality and Event Industry. Now it’s time to introduce some professional experiences of our very own Purdue Global students.
Are you currently working in hospitality, tourism, event planning or related fields and enrolled in the Purdue Global Hospitality and Tourism Services or Hospitality Sustainability Concentration? If so, we’d like to shine the spotlight on the work you do and your future goals, so that others can learn about this amazing industry.
If you’d like to be highlighted in an upcoming edition of the SBIT Student newsletter, simply complete the simple survey found on this link and we’ll do the rest by composing an article so that other students can learn about the rewards and opportunities. Be sure to include your email address so we can reach out to you and as an added incentive, we will put all survey entries into a hat and draw one lucky winner who will receive some PG Swag. Be sure to respond by November 30, 2024!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
We look forward to hearing from you!

From Dia de los Muertos traditions early in the month to the start of the holiday season with Nov. 29’s Ford Holiday River Parade and river lighting ceremony, San Antonio is festive in November. The San Antonio River Walk is one of the city’s most popular attractions, and it’s even more beautiful during the holidays when the lights glow from sundown to sunrise every day. Touted as the culinary capital of Texas, San Antonio is one of two U.S. cities to be named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. The new Pullman Market, set in a vintage glass factory, highlights quality cuisine, and the southwest campus of the Culinary Institute of America is located in San Antonio. Visitors can explore the city’s history, art, and culture, and families can enjoy nearby amusement parks like Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
