Students network and refine research at graduate student conference
1/27/10
Lydia Hanks had a tremendous experience at her first research-centered conference. A graduate student in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management (HRIM), Hanks presented two posters on her own research. "I received great feedback from other students and faculty from other schools," she says. "This helped me to further clarify my research and how I can move forward."
Hanks was among the sixteen Penn State graduate students (fourteen studying HRIM and two studying Recreation, Park and Tourism Management) attending the fifteenth annual Graduate Student Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism, held January 7-9, 2010, in Washington, D.C.
