This fall the Department of Hospitality Management debuted a new opportunity for current students to get involved in the recruitment of new students locally and across the state. For the 2016-2017 academic year, six hospitality management ambassadors will serve one year terms which will include presenting information sessions to high schools about the hospitality industry, K-State and hospitality management as a program of study. The ambassadors will also assist department staff with prospective student visits and increasing campus awareness of the hospitality management program.
Two of six 2016-2017 ambassadors: Chelsea and Sarah
Chelsea Paul is a senior in the restaurant and foodservice management track from Derby, Kansas. Paul’s favorite class was Food Production Management. She became an ambassador because she loves the major and desires to help future students see the wonderful benefits that come with majoring in hospitality management. As an ambassador, Paul looks forward to “traveling around and seeing students who want to become hospitality managers.”
Sarah Wright is a senior in the lodging management track from Olathe, Kansas. Wright’s favorite class was The Business of Wedding Consulting. She became an ambassador because she wants future Wildcats to know all about the opportunities with a hospitality management major. Wright looks forward to showing prospective students around Justin Hall and sharing her past experience of being a first year K-State student.
