What an amazing turnout at yesterday's Career Pop-Up!

Our Student Services hosted a hands-on workshop to help students build the tools they need to land their dream jobs — covering everything from writing standout cover letters and polishing resumes to discovering the best job search strategies.

It was incredible to see many students show up, engage deeply, and take the sessions so seriously. The energy in the room was truly inspiring!

We hope the skills and handouts you took home give you the confidence and direction to take your next big step. Wishing every single one of you all the best in your job search — we're rooting for you!

WE HAD THE BEST TIME AT INTERNATIONAL DAY!!

May 7th was absolutely EPIC and we are still not over it!

Our students showed UP and showed OUT — incredible talent on stage, mouthwatering food from every corner of the world, and team games that had everyone laughing until their sides hurt.

From cheering (okay, screaming) at the Talent Show to trying flavors we didn't even know we needed in our lives at the International Potluck — every single moment was pure magic.

BIG congrats to our prize winners — you earned it!

And to EVERYONE who came, cooked, performed, competed, cheered, and made the day what it was... THANK YOU. We seriously have the best community!!

Already can't wait for next year!

Our Business Administration and Technical & Business English students took their classroom knowledge straight to the lobby of the Bethesda Marriott on 4/21 and 4/23!

Over two incredible afternoons, students got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how a world-class hotel operates — from touring the property to sitting down with the General Manager and learning how every department plays a role in delivering an unforgettable guest experience.

But it wasn't just a tour. Our students came ready with questions, soaked up real career advice from hospitality professionals, and left with a clearer picture of the exciting paths ahead of them.

This is exactly what education should look like — bridging the classroom and the real world.

A huge thank you to the entire Marriott team for opening your doors, sharing your expertise, and investing in the next generation of business and hospitality leaders. We are so grateful!
