Recruitment Engagement
Post Online: Utilize our online recruiting tool, Handshake, to post opportunities for students and alumni.

Student Talent
Our student population is eager to connect with the hospitality industry. While a rigorous curriculum helps to prepare them for post-grad careers, we push our students to the next level.
School of Hospitality Administration students are required to complete two (2) 400-hour hospitality work experiences and one international experience. These requirements give them practical field experience and exposure to the global hospitality industry.
