Penelope is officially on the ground in Santiago, Chile!

While she’s here attending the GASI (Global Awareness Society International) Conference, she made time for a quick visit through Chilean wine country. 🍷 From vineyard views to cellar tours, it was a chance to experience another side of the region and learn a little more about the agriculture and hospitality that shape it.

Stay tuned for more. 🇨🇱

From Hospitality Leadership graduate to shaping one of the world’s most iconic destinations, MSU alum Allison Glass is now Manager of Events & Services at San Francisco Travel Association.

Before stepping into her current role, Allison built her early career in San Francisco hospitality, including time at Hotel Nikko San Francisco, where she focused on high-end events, catering, and room sales.

Her foundation was shaped in the Hospitality program through immersive learning opportunities like the Hospitality Leadership Wine Tasting, paired with mentorship from faculty including Dr. Wolfe, Professor Bekebrede, and Professor Bonczyk. Together, those experiences helped refine her passion for hospitality and prepare her for the pace of the industry.

Allison's advice to current students is simple: stay open, say yes as often as possible, and remember that intention is most powerful when it’s paired with action.

Springfield’s Route 66 Centennial Sculpture Series has been adding color and character across the city.🍍

Penelope Pineapple recently spent the day visiting several of the installations, each created to honor 100 years of Route 66 and Springfield’s place as its birthplace. Together, the sculptures form a citywide narrative that blends art, history, and community identity in a uniquely accessible way.

Tourism and hospitality often reach beyond traditional spaces, shaping how people experience a place through storytelling and place-making. It’s not just about the destination, but the moments along the way—pulling over for a sculpture, wandering downtown, or turning an ordinary afternoon into a small adventure.

For those inspired to explore further, a digital pass connects all 16 sculpture stops into a self-guided journey across the city. More on the Route 66 Centennial Sculpture Series and the broader citywide project here: https://springfield66.com/
