From the Boardroom<br />

to Classroom<br />

Executives <strong>of</strong>fer expertise to students<br />

Each semester, executives from every aspect <strong>of</strong> the hospitality<br />

industry lend their time and expertise to students in UNLV’s<br />

hotel college. Whether it is a presentation about employment<br />

opportunities, tips on how to land the job <strong>of</strong> their dreams, or<br />

industry insights that help them better understand their chosen<br />

educational and career paths, these presentations complement<br />

the classroom instruction, and for many students supplement the<br />

internships they serve. It’s just another example <strong>of</strong> how the UNLV<br />

hotel college provides the most comprehensive education available,<br />

based on scholarship, teaching, and real-life experience.<br />
