“The events vocabulary and the semester-long project we worked on in class have truly prepared me for my current role at Belmont Country Club. From updating contracts and meeting with clients to help bring their events to life, I’ve found that my Hart School education laid a strong foundation for what I’m doing now. It’s so rewarding to see that work come full circle in such a hands-on way.”
