The participants were welcomed by Natália Váradi, Head of the Adult Education Center at the College.
“I am very pleased that we have taken the first step towards a successful collaboration. I hope that we will be able to work together in the field of education and science. I also hope that the war in Ukraine will soon be over and that we will have the opportunity to meet in person,”

Afterwards, Kurt A. Stahura, Professor within the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Niagara University, Director of the Research for the Niagara Global Tourism Institute, and Eliza Hajdú, a PhD student at Niagara University, introduced themselves to the audience.
“With the help of the Hungarian government, we run scholarship programs that allow Hungarian students to study at the American university. It is a great pleasure to be able to work with the Rákóczi College today and exchange experiences,”
said Peter Forgach, Honorary Consul of Hungary in Western New York.
After the welcoming speeches, the professional work, the exchange of ideas between teachers and students began. The 5-hour course aims to encourage English-speaking college students’ professional self-education and networking, as well as to develop their skills in the world of tourism and hospitality. At the end of the course, all participants will receive a certificate in English.
