What does it take to secure the Northern Ireland Travel ‘Student of the Year’ award?
Ready to collect her NI Travel 'Student of the Year' accolade at the Northern Ireland Travel and Tourism Awards in mid-October, Travel and Tourism graduate Katherine Wilkinson from North West Regional College (NWRC) is delighted with her achievement.
As Luane Quigley, Curriculum Manager in Travel and Tourism at NWRC told the Derry Journal, "Katherine is the first student from Derry (Londonderry) to win the title of Student of the Year and, on behalf of the North West Regional College, I would like to congratulate her on this success."
From living in Canada and then returning to Derry, Katherine is quite the traveller. Nominated by Quigley for this NI Travel award, Wilkinson's win has triggered an influx of curiosity for other travel and tourism students about how to obtain such an achievement.
