"Thank You, to Jennifer Ackerson!" - Note from NYSTC23 Student Attendee
"I wanted to touch base with you since it's been about a week since the conference. Words cannot express enough how helpful you were during those two days. Having someone as kind and as fun as you was the best introduction into the tourism industry I could have hoped for. I'm excited to have your advice, accepting opportunities as they come, following me into the rest of my college career and forward. Thank you for taking the time to help us network, thank you for the words of encouragement, and thank you most importantly for making it as daunting as it first seemed."
