Resources for Parents
"Life is service . . . " begins the famous quote from E. M. Statler. At the Hotel School, we not only teach from that philosophical starting point, but in the Office of Student Services we pursue it as a vocation - with your student's success at the center of our goals.
We hope that you'll find the information on this site helpful in answering questions about our program and resources for your student. For more information , please contact us in the Office of Student Services.
