Love this story from alum @ashleydilieto: "Conducted my first meeting today at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel! College really does prepare for your future; all of the knowledge I gained while at Paul Smiths College couldn't have helped prepare me more for this moment! You're looking at the new Sustainability Committee director. Very excited to see what innovative ideas the team comes up with for the hotel!!!!!"
