Student Council 2013-14 / Open Day 2013

Alpine Center’s Hotel Operations Manager and Student Council are looking forward to joining them at the Open Day scheduled for Friday 29 November 16:00-20:00 to share their experiences of preparing themselves for an exciting career in the hospitality and tourism field!



Student Council 2013-14



 The mission of the Student Council is to enhance the quality of student life at Alpine by representing the interests of students in academic matters and extracurricular activities.  The council is the formal link between students and management.  Each class or section will, in the beginning of the year, elect a class representative and an assistant class representative.  The class representatives are the formal link between the students and the Student Council.  The Student Council, in turn, is the formal link between the students and the managements.

Student Council activities range between organizing many exciting community and fun events such as Cleaning the Beach followed by a Barbeque Party, Christmas Party, Sports Events, Fund raising events, donating clothing to the poor, cooking a meal at an orphanage, fashion show, to name a few.

Student Council members also sit on the Academic Board and give their feedback and interact with their faculty in evaluating their modules!

Testimonial *MA International Hospitality and Tourism Leadership

Ildiko Kiss, MA
Courtyard by Marriott, Brussels
“I have completed the Master’s degree programme at Alpine’s Hospitality & Tourism Management Department of City Unity College. Soon afterwards, Alpine’s dynamic Career & Placement Office assisted me in finding a great placement as an Event Coordinator Trainee at the Courtyard by Marriott in Brussels, Belgium.  During this internship I also had the chance to spend some time in almost all the departments which gave me an overall picture of the hotel and how all the departments are linked and work together. I find Events very interesting, and the best combination between operations and office work.  Tomorrow I will spend a day in the HR and I’m really looking forward to it.

I really enjoy the work at Courtyard. The colleagues are very helpful and I learn a lot from them. Their attitude to trainees is to prepare them for the profession and not to substitute work-force. I am very happy  that I ended up here. I met Stamatis Cheimarios, a fellow Alpiner who is now a Restaurant Supervisor.  Sometimes we talk about the "nice old school days". We both had a great time at Alpine.

Thank you very much once again for giving me the chance at Courtyard by Marriott in Brussels”.
