This month through Christmas Eve, students from Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management have been managing a gift-wrapping station at Philadelphia International Airport, where travelers can have gifts wrapped for free. "The school wants to be a part of the dynamic tourism industry in the city," says Elizabeth Barber, associate dean of the School of Tourism, the first school to partner with the annual program. "What better place to make an impact than be in a frontline position to interact with visitors — at either their first stop or their last stop while they are visiting our city."
