Hendrickson, a freshman hospitality major, said the scholarship will help meet her financial challenges. Along with a financial boost, the scholarship further ignites Hendrickson’s passion for a career in resort management. “My passion for resort management began when I was a little girl,” Hendrickson said. “My mother worked at the Westin Resort, and she carried me to work with her when I was little. My love for working in a resort grew as I got older.” Director of Resort Operations for the Caribbean Region Bryan Dixon said Wyndham is also continuing their paid summer internship program for two UVI students, who are studying in the field of business or hospitality. “The internship program gives students the opportunity to learn first-hand what it’s like to work for Wyndham, the world’s largest vacation ownership company,” Dixon said. This is the third consecutive year UVI students have received Wyndham Vacation Ownership Club scholarships. St. Thomas business Copyright © V.I. Source Publications, Inc.
