GVSU Hospitality & Tourism Management

HTM student Noah Prysock was invited to speak at the recent event WGVU Michigan Listens. Michiganders — people from diverse walks of life — shared what matters most to them. The speakers to reflected on a simple yet profound question: What do you value and why? They were asked to share what they value, why it matters to them, and how those values are reflected in their lives.
