来自肯代尔大学的本科交换生Maxwell的蓝山学习之旅 2014年4月10日
大家好，我是Maxwell Herbert。我是蓝山国际酒店管理学院的一名国际会展管理专业的学生。我也是来自美国肯代尔大学（Kendall College）的交换生。我一直都很热爱旅游，这也是我为什么选择在肯代尔大学学习酒店管理的原因。
这是我第一次来到澳大利亚，对我而言这是一次非常棒的经历。坦白来讲，我之前并不认为澳大利亚和美国有很多不同之处，但是事实证明我错了。两个国家大部分的区别都是小区别。例如，澳大利亚人有些单词拼写的不一样，如颜色colour（美国人拼写的是color）或道歉apologise（美国人拼写的是apologize），而且澳大利亚车辆行驶方向和美国人也不一样。（在澳大利亚，行车时车辆靠左侧行驶，方向盘位于车辆右侧。而美国则相反。）
从2014年1月第一个学期开始的第一天，我就一头扎进了学校。我遇到了很多很棒的人士，我通过志愿者活动、学术学习和实践，在行业中不断成长，变得越来越专业，而且我还成为第一个被选为学生代表委员会（Student Representative Council，SRC）主席的交换生。
遗憾的是，我在蓝山鲁拉校区的学习时间有限。7月份我就会成功完成两个学术学期，随后会进行一个长达6个月的会展管理行业实习。当我在12月份结束行业实习之后，我将回到肯代尔大学完成最后一年的学习。毕业后，我计划成为一名认证会议专业人士（Certified Meeting Professional，CMP）和认证顾客服务专业人士（Certified Guest Service Professional，CGSP），并攻读获得应用积极心理学硕士学位（Masters in Applied Positive Psychology，MAPP）。

Meet Maxwell, BMIHMS Undergraduate Transfer Student
April 10th, 2014
Hello, my name is Maxwell Herbert and I am anInternational Event Management student at theBlue Mountains International Hotel Management School. I am a transfer student originally from Kendall College in the United States. I have always had a passion for traveling and that passion is the reason why I chose hospitality and Kendall College.
This is my very first time in Australia and it has been an amazing experience thus far. I honestly didn’t think Australia was going to be that different from the United States, but I was wrong. Most of the differences are small. For example, Australians spell some words differently like colour or apologise and also how Australians drive on the opposite side of the road.
From the first day of my first term starting in January of 2014 I have jumped head first into the school. That has allowed me to meet amazing people, grow professionally in the industry through volunteer and academic experiences, and also to be the very first transfer student elected as the President of the Student Representative Council (SRC).
Unfortunately, I only have a limited time here at the Leura Campus in the Blue Mountains. In July I will have successfully completed two academic terms and I will then continue on to a six month industry placement involving Event Management. After my industry placement ends in December, I will be returning to Kendall College to finish my last year of school. After graduation I plan to become a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP), Certified Guest Service Professional (CGSP) and also earn a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP).
Maxwell,
BMIHMS Undergraduate Transfer Student
