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 />
