Thank you to @Lugdon Lodge for hosting our visiting Tourism Hospitality and Outdoor Recreation students in UMFK's Vacationland course. The course was designed by UMFK Associate Professor of Business Dr. Michael Curran. It is taught in two parts with an online portion and this week's in-person portion, immersing students in different winter recreational activities while providing opportunities to learn from industry professionals. Most of the universities in the University of Maine System have students participating this week and the weather could not have been better!
