Designing moments that matter ✨

HTM 100 students heard from industry leaders who are shaping experiences every day:
• Monica Richards - @monamieevents
• Susie Townsend - @visitindy
• Chris Bishop - @purdueconferences

From unforgettable weddings to major citywide events, students saw the many paths a career in hospitality and tourism can take.

Plus, Dr. Shawn Bucher - @PurdueHTMLife - challenged students to think differently: What if every interaction could become a lasting memory?

That’s the power of experience design.
