Day 0- Getting Ready to head to the UK!

 

We are a week away from departure and getting a wee bit excited for our upcoming study abroad trip! Ten Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism (HMGT) students at Texas A&M University who are enrolled in an International Event Management class (part of the Professional Event Management Certificate or PEMC) have been spending the last few weeks learning more about festivals, especially those that find their home in Scotland. We are all so excited to cross the pond next Monday and find ourselves in London for a couple of days before making our home base in Edinburgh. We are so grateful to the faculty and students at Edinburgh Napier University (ENU) International Festival & Event Management department who came to visit Texas A&M in April and are widely opening their arms to welcome us when we visit them in a few weeks time. 

Pictured below are some ENU students in the Press Box at their first ever American football game for the Maroon & White scrimmage.

Follow along to hear from students each day of the trip! I'm looking forward to getting to know them all better on our journey!
