Kamrin Sprott of Livingston, Arlene Turcios of Tyler and Kelly Allen of Atlanta, Texas, worked at The Country Club of Little Rock in Arkansas during the summer to meet their internship requirements for the hospitality administration program at Stephen F. Austin State University. Before the pandemic hit, the three seniors were headed to Yellowstone National Park for internships. At the same time those internships were canceled because of COVID-19, the country club had to revamp its internship program, which normally recruits interns from India, Jamaica and the Philippines. Because of international travel restrictions, the club’s internship coordinators looked closer to home to find interns this year, and Sprott, Turcios and Allen were able to gain valuable real-world, hands-on experience despite the pandemic.
