Welcome Week
Welcome Week is always organized at the beginning of the academic year, with the help and involvement of senior students (Student Ambassadors).
Through this period, all first year students take part in the orientation program that introduces them to their academic curricula, student services, student government, internships, rules and regulations, dress code, on campus facilities, lecturers, staff, colleagues and many more, everything with a mix of social activities which are meant to connect all American Hotel Academy community members.

An amazing team, a multitude of outstanding events, happy faces and great times - those are the words I would use to describe my experience as the President of the Student Government team. It has been a year full of challenges and rewarding moments, of misunderstandings and difficult situations solved over a cup of coffee with people that I grew to love. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, it changed me, made me improve and want to become better and because of that, I will never forget it.
Camela Tiju
Student Body President
During my experience with the Student Government I developed both personally and professionally by having around me a team of wonderful people and participating to all sorts of special activities. There are so many different things to do in so many different events. They manage somehow to prepare us not only for our careers, but also for different situations that we might encounter in our lives. I encourage every spirited person to get involved and join the Student Government. They will not regret it.
Catalina Vaida
Events Department
The Student Government is very united. We always discuss and communicate. We learned along the way how to help and complete each other above everything. We learned how to work together as a team to create social events, charitable events and various activities for all the TASTE and AHA students. I am proud to be part of the Student Government, I believe in our team and I wish that in the future the team stays as united and as great as it is now. I wish that they are successful in everything that they do.
Roxana Draghiceanu
Head of Sales & Marketing Department
I must say I was skeptical at first about joining the Student Government, but now I am very happy I've decided to join it. The main selling point for me has been how this is the concept of a group of students coming up with ideas or plans and organizing them for all students, ranging from social nights to charity events. The team is full of energy and eager to do as many wonderful things as possible. It is an unique experience that I would recommend to everybody that is interested.
