Students-at--Kalahari
Six East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania students took a trip to Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, a vacation destination that is coming to the Poconos this summer and includes one of the country’s largest indoor waterparks.

The students interacted with the managing staff at Kalahari and had the chance to learn about their career paths and network with professionals.

“These kind of opportunities allow students to learn about the value of practical experience, including internships and job opportunities,” Robert Fleischman, J.D.,Ed.D., dean of the ESU College of Business and Management, said.

“The university looks forward to continue working with Kalahari to provide students with internships and career opportunities that will benefit our vibrant community.”
