Outstanding Senior Travel Administration Tam Nguyen moved to the United States in 1996 by way of Saigon to Minneapolis and finally Denver where she had to learn English before starting her HMTA education. She went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude in her class.
"The HTE program provides hands-on projects you can learn from in an environment in which it's safe to make mistakes. The professors lend insight into practical matters not contained in textbooks."
- Meeting Graduate, Laura Libby
