Hear from our Sustainable Hospitality Alumni
”When it became clear that even the hospitality industry was focusing on sustainability, I started looking for a school that would help me combine both fields of interest. I have learned so much about so many industries, and not just the hospitality sector. I got to learn about the luxury industry and the sustainable corporate world and so much more.
