Cayuga + Cornell

Cornell + Cayuga Collaboration


Since 1925, when the first class from The School of Hotel Administration went forth to serve the hospitality industries, the reputation of the school and its graduates has grown throughout the world. Graduates of the School hold preeminent roles in every facet of the hospitality, tourism and related industries and are found at the highest leadership levels within industry trade associations and hold positions as educators at some of the world’s finest hospitality schools.

Cayuga Hospitality Consultants was founded more than 35 years ago by a group of Cornell School of Hotel Administration alumni.

 

Today Cayuga counts more than half our members as graduates, faculty, or those who have earned exclusive certifications of The School. Benefits of the Cornell + Cayuga Collaboration include access to online learning programs. In addition, Cayuga Consultants bring to The School a pool of highly engaged and experienced professionals to further its goals and objectives. Our Members are called upon by The School to assist with mentorship and placement of students, collaborate on industry research projects, contribute to Cornell’s periodicals and reference materials, as guest speakers and panelists, and more.
