THE INTERIM student council president of the College of Tourism and Hospitality Management has been elected national student director for tourism and hospitality education and research of the Junior Tourism and Hospitality Management Association of the Philippines (JTHMAP) last Sept. 21.
Stephen Batacan will serve a one-year term.
Out of the 39 nominated student-leaders from all over the country, only 15 were voted to be part of the JTHMAP National Board of Students.
Last year, Batacan received the gold medal in cultural events planning from the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baguio, and silver in Patimpalak sa Kasuotang Pilipino of the Philippine Tour Operators Association.
“I will share the learnings and training that I had in our University because I know that this would be of great help,” he told the Varsitarian.
JTHMAP is a national youth organization for tourism and hospitality management students in the country. The election of officers was held last Sept. 19 through Zoom and Google forms.
