School of Hospitality & Tourism Management (SHTM) freshmen attended a school-hosted orientation at SJH Acad Hall, July 4, 2024. The event themed "A New Journey: A Survival Kit to Being a Freshie at University" was organized by the College Student Council (CSC) of SHTM.

The event kickstarted with the tour around SHTM facilities showcasing the newly air-conditioned kitchen, Casa Nena, and Holy Angel Travel Services, where students had the chance to learn more about what it takes to be in the field of hospitality and tourism.

Dr. Mervyn Maico Aldana, SHTM dean, welcomed the freshies and shared an inspirational message during his opening remarks. Ms. Christian Laine Aquino, SHTM guidance counselor, presented the guidance services offered by HAU and various initiatives such as My Three Angels.

Dr. Janiel Joel Mendoza, Hospitality Management chairperson, and Dr. Ardee Glenn Domingo, Tourism Management chairperson, introduced the degree program and various concentration offered by the School.

SHTM upperclass students welcomed the new peacocks and peahens to embark on their new journey at the University. SHTM’s various accredited student-organizations, College Student Council (CSC-SHTM), League of Tourism Students of the Philippines (LTSP), Hospitality Management Association of the Philippines (HMAP), and The Concierge, were introduced to them as well.

The event turned out to be fun and engaging as students had the chance to participate in question-and-answer platforms, games, and insightful conversations with the School’s administration and student-organizations.
