This course will provide students with a first-hand introduction to hospitality industry leaders, their perspectives on the segments they represent, and the breadth of those segments. Each week a senior leader from the industry will present ideas on current topics relevant to both our teaching mission and to student understanding of the present and future direction of hospitality. This course is organized in a large seminar format so that students will be expected to engage with our speakers during class. You may take the course twice for credit. Pass/Fail grading. 1 cr.
