Taste of Hospitality

Thank you for joining us for our second annual Taste of Hospitality!

Held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, in the SHA Lobby at 928 Commonwealth Ave, this open house brought together BU students, faculty, and industry leaders for an evening celebrating the power of hospitality education in action.

Guests enjoyed signature dishes from Boston’s top restaurants, met local business owners and executives, and learned how SHA’s undergraduate and graduate programs are shaped by real-world industry connections.

A special thank you to our professors, business owners, and executives from the participating restaurants for making this event possible.
