Schloss Schenna sets the stage for MU

Some students just can’t get enough of MODUL University Vienna – including two of our alumni who are now full time employees. BBA ’10 Leopold Spiegelfeld, Recruitment & Marketing Coordinator has been criss-crossing Europe to promote MU.

His most recent activity took him to his homeland of South Tyrol, where students from the Landeshotelfachschule Kaiserhof, one of the oldest and most respected Tourism schools in Italy, learned about options for the next step in their education.

What set this presentation apart from the rest was the spectacular location - Schloss Schenna in the hills surrounding Merano, Italy. The 650-year old castle was rebuilt and expanded in the 19th century by Archduke Johann, and retains lifestyle and decor from over four centuries. The castle is still owned and operated by the Archduke's decendants, and is currently in the hands of Leo's parents, Franz and Johanna Spielgelfeld. A centre of cultural activity, the castle holds regular concerts and is home to an art gallery. Ranking among the top tourist destinations in South Tyrol, what better place to present MU’s BBA in Tourism and Hospitality management?

Sixteen potential Modulians, along with Esther Pöhl, president of the Kaiserhof alumni association, attended the evening hosted in the castle hall. Recruitment's next stop - Brussels!
