Popular Events Management lecturer Doug Garske is known for providing his students with the best opportunities to create networks and build real life experiences within the dynamic events industry.

The students were there for a combined 3 days working to assist staff in;
- Food styling
- Set design
- Food preparation
- Running props
- Maintaining the set
“Our role on set was as a production runner, helping in preparing stage food and decorating the set for each different example of what the product could do,” said Jasmine.
“We were preparing all the essentials for the set layout, and all the ideas the director had regarding decoration, we had to make them possible,” said Sonja when asked what her role was throughout the experience.
