On behalf of the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management and Career Services at Niagara University, I’m pleased to invite you to be part of the exclusive group of employers in the hospitality and tourism industry who will participate in our seventh annual Hospitality and Tourism Career Fair. This event, which will be held Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012, will provide you with an excellent opportunity to recruit our highly-qualified students for internships, part-time jobs, summer jobs, and full-time positions.
For your information, there are 450 students currently enrolled in Niagara's College of Hospitality and Tourism Management, concentrating on course work in lodging, food service, tourism, or sport management.
