BCIT students had a chance to mix and mingle with industry leaders at the January dinner meeting of Skal International Vancouver. The four students had been recognized for their academic excellence in the marketing management (tourism) program by faculty at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Attending from BCIT were Jennifer Wong, Megan Krentz, Vivek Punwani and Tyler Newton. Throughout the evening, some of the Skal members underscoring the variety of opportunities available to this next generation of tourism execs were Pauline Lipkewich (Rocky Mountaineer), Scott Johnson (Sandman Signature Hotels & Resorts) and Katherine Grant (Second Stage Management Services).
