Student Profiles
Hanna Cha, South Korea
Bachelor of Business Administration (Event Management)
"I wanted to do something that makes other people happy and I thought that Event Management is something that I could do as a profession to accomplish this. By organising events around the world, I can make people from all cultures smile and bring joy to important life events. In the future I see myself travelling around the world and organising events and conferences. I also hope to one day teach event management to people with a strong desire to learn event management but without financial resources to do so. I?ve met a lot of people from different places which is not something I could have experienced if I did not come here. Experiencing new cultures and sharing different cultures widen my perspective and knowledge."
Valentina Gonzalez, Mexico
Bachelor of Business Administration (Hospitality Management)
"I did my industry training at the W Hotel Sydney in the Food & Beverage department. Industry training has helped me to create a solid network of people who later helped me to find the job I have now. I am working at W New York Court and Tuscany as a Guest Relations Manager. The educational program at ICMS balanced theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which was enhanced by nine months of industry training, where I had an opportunity to discover my potential."
