Happy to bring happiness to others

Hospitality and Tourism Management graduate Ahana Das remembers how exhilarated she was when she organised her first event during her final semester at the Singapore Campus of James Cook University . She was part of the organising committee for the JCU’s poster presentations and her duties included arranging for sponsorships and liaising with participants.

Some of her peers were studying hospitality at the time and she found herself taking an interest in their assignments. After talking to her friends, Ms Das became interested in event planning and communications in the hospitality sector. A taste of hotel operations A few months after graduating from JCU, Ms Das joined the Brand Standards team at InterContinental Hotels Group as an intern. The 11-month internship gave her a first-hand look at how a hotel operates and how its standards are maintained.

Enrolling in an entirely new course was daunting at first but Ms Das felt at home at JCU thanks to its vibrant mix of students. “The staff, professors and students were open-minded towards all kinds of situations and welcomed people from all cultures.”

Why 2019 was not as bad as you thinkWildfires in Australia and California; terror in Christchurch and Colombo.
