RHM 2400 - Resort Summer Co-Op

9 cr

Every resort is seasonal in nature, witnessing peak and off-season market demands. The resort may also experience a change in the activity base. In the case of Killington, the resort goes from skiing, tubing, and on-mountain winter events (e.g. the World Cup) to a summer season that offers mountain biking, adventure park activities, music festivals, and weddings. In RHM 2400, the student experiences first-hand the changes required for the Killington summer (off) season and the special "four season" nature of today's resort industry. Students are given the opportunity to apply and interview for specified positions within the Killington Resort during the summer. The same policies and structure apply as in Co-Op I and Co-Op II. Certain students who show promise may be invited to take on additional supervisory responsibilities and projects. Student chooses whether to enroll for the Summer 1 or Summer 2 term. Note: A student may substitute 9 credits of internships (RHM 3810) for RHM 2400.
Restricted to students majoring in Resort and Hospitality Management.
