With thousands of spectators urging hometown favorite Mikaela Shiffrin on to victory, students and alumni from GMC’s Killington School of Resort Management helped make the event happen. Jason Ruben ’17 and Will Conroy ’11 talked with WCAX-TV reporter Taylor Young about how the Resort Hospitality Management Program at GMC’s Killington School of Resort Management helps prepare students for rewarding careers in the hospitality industry.
