Dhvani Gandhi, Intrepid Travel, coming to us from Montreal! I have been using remote technology long before the pandemic, and someone not living down the street is not a reason why they cannot visit our class!

Whether online or in person, I always include guest speakers in each course I teach. There is nothing like someone from the industry inspiring, connecting the dots, and making an impression. Even when they say the exact same things that I say, they just resonate differently. They always bring in new perspectives, and my honest, personal, totally not-guilty selfish pleasure is that I am learning along, too! The cherry on the icing? Former students who have carved their path in the industry coming back to share their insights with future industry professionals and alumni!
