Fall 2020 virtual tours
The tours provided students with a simulation of an existing location. On October 15th student had the opportunity to “meet” Chef Trevor Penney from Birch & Anchor and Justin Zinck Marketing and Brand Manager at Garrison Brewery.
Our virtual tour hosts used multimedia elements such as sound effects, music, narration to make this an experience like none other.
Thank you Justin and Trevor!
