☀️ ALEC Summer Spotlight: Caleb Most

This summer, Caleb Most, a senior majoring in Agricultural Education, served as an Event and Hospitality Intern at Glacial Till Vineyard. From coordinating weddings and preparing event spaces to bartending and supporting special events, no two days looked the same, and that was exactly what Caleb enjoyed most!

Through the experience, Caleb discovered a passion for hospitality and creating memorable experiences for others. He especially enjoyed being a small part of so many meaningful celebrations, from weddings and rehearsal dinners to family gatherings, and the positive energy that came with each event.

Caleb also found connections between the classroom and the workplace. Conversations in his ALEC courses about creating welcoming, comfortable environments translated directly into hospitality, reminding him that helping people feel seen and supported is valuable whether you're teaching students or hosting guests.

Summer experiences like Caleb's show that leadership and communication skills can make an impact in every industry!
