ASU's TSA students gain essential connections through local HSMAI event

On Sept. 18, 2025, 15 Tourism Student Associations participated in a Lunch and Learn event hosted by HSMAI (Arizona Chapter). Students enjoyed networking and a delicious lunch at the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix Hotel. They also learned so much from keynote presenter Summer Jelinek (https://summerjelinek.com/) about our rapidly changing workplace and how to succeed across multiple platforms. Thank you, Joanne Winter and Christi Windle, for inviting students to this meaningful event for in-person and virtual attendees. Collaborations like this make experiential learning possible.

This is the talent pipeline for tourism, hospitality and events management!
