"I'm spending my summer in Israel to deepen my connections and make amazing memories. I have made so many new friends since being here, and love living here more and more each day!
I'm currently interning at Alto Real Estate Funds – a small real estate company that invests in a commercial retail real estate in the U.S. through closed-end funds. I am conducting market research for Alto’s acquisitions analyst and analyzing property financials." –Jenna Rediker, Hospitality Major |
"I am getting excellent exposure to the hospitality culture here at the Panorama Hotel in Jerusalem l and learning about customer service standards in a new, enlightening way.
From mastering reservation codes to resetting the table, I have mastered several concepts in this hotel and fostered that “two way street” of cultural similarities between the regular staff and me. During my time here, I hope to explore other opportunities such as front desk, reservations, and housekeeping. With the remaining time of my internship, I am excited to find new ways to improve my communication skills and learn of the many departments at the Dan Panorama." - Josh Goldstein, Hotel Administration Major |
