  • The DSAB Mission

    The NSHA Dean's Student Advisory Board works closely with Dean Walsh and her leadership team to represent the undergraduate students, gather student feedback, and recommend courses of action to improve the student experience.

     

    Our main objectives are to:

    1. Improve educational experiences by working with the administration to create opportunities to support our students' interests
    2. Strive to represent all student interests by creating a culture of open cooperation and collaboration between the SHA student body, faculty, "Hotelie" alumni network, and administration
    3. Provide resources for professional development across all career interests and mentorship for students

    "Hotelie" Merchandise

    The SAB has worked on introducing “Hotelie” merchandise into circulation to allow students to proudly represent their affiliation to the Hotel School. Currently, we have worked to create sweaters, hats, and socks. Moving forward, the Cornell Store and the Statler Hotel Lobby Shop will take over and continue to release more Hotelie-branded merchandise.

    Hospitality Software Workshops

    Samay B

    The SAB believes that the growing number of essential software in the hospitality space warrants a credit-bearing weekend workshop for students to learn about the breadth of this software. The knowledge increases marketability in the workplace and makes our graduates better suited for operations and real-estate roles.
