This past summer, NC State student Kathryn Hanks interned with Twiddy & Company, gaining hands-on experience in vacation rental management, while making friendships and memories along the way.

This experience helped her realize how many different career opportunities there are within the tourism and hospitality industry. It led to an increased interest in a career involving behind-the-scenes planning and operations.

“The internship taught me that there is so much more that goes into renting a vacation home than simply putting a house online and having guests stay there,” Hanks said. “I got to see the work that goes into preparing properties, communicating with homeowners, welcoming guests and making sure everything is ready for a great vacation experience.”

Last week, we welcomed families to campus for an ice cream social during Parents and Families Weekend. This event, hosted by the CNR Offices of Advancement, Academic Affairs, and College Culture and Community, was a special opportunity for families to meet the people who make our college such a welcoming place.
