J‌anice Flack, 
Hospitality Management Diploma program

After graduating high school, Janice began studying at Capilano University. Her academic focus was in general arts, exploring art history, religion, sociology and literature. In 2012, Janice graduated from Simon Fraser with a bachelor degree in English. It was a combination of a passion for hospitality and global tourism that led Janice to decide to take the hospitality program at VCC. She is currently working as a concierge guest service agent at a boutique hotel in downtown Vancouver, as well as throughout the city in various banquet and catering events.

"I have attended two other universities in BC, and VCC has been my favourite because we actively see the students taking part and claiming ownership over the campus. Instructors know students' names and no one is just a student number."
