Graduation season is so bittersweet, yet again we must say goodbye to our awesome duo of Graduate Assistants! James and Everett both completed their time at La Chanterelle, when they walked the stage to obtain their MBAs last Saturday 🎓 we could not be more proud of you two, especially as our first duo of non-hospitality major GAs!
as a student from Cork Ireland, you brought an incredible international perspective to our class as our front of house graduate assistant. We are so glad to have met you while you were studying abroad as a junior at Endicott! Your professionalism and positive attitude helped our students grow throughout their time in service management, and your client satisfaction skills ensured that our guests had an enjoyable time when visiting our classroom. We could not be more proud of the networking you did to bring in a student photographer to enhance our social media, as well as Professors from Endicott, and industry professionals to experience everything that our students can do! We wish you the best of luck in Boston!
iii you were one of the first Endicott football players (who wasn't a hospitality major) to take our Culinary arts class, where you blew us all away with your team leadership and delicate application of your Culinary skills! From a student, to practicum, and then as our back of house graduate assistant, it has been incredible to watch your growth throughout the years. You brought a unique perspective to our class by formulating creative menus, and enhancing the student learning experience with your direction and collaboration in the classroom. Along with this, we are so proud of your networking to recruite a whole new cohort of student athletes, which we are very grateful for! We know you are going to do incredible things in the future, and we can't wait to see where you end up!
Know that this isn't goodbye - we can't wait to have you back as guests, to see the lasting impact you have implemented into our classes! Thank you both for everything!
