If you need to cancel a session you signed up for, please cancel through Handshake AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This allows another student to take your spot with that employer. If you no show for the session, a report is generated and sent to me for review. The Deans office, your faculty advisors and I will be reaching out to all students who fail to attend their reserved session to discuss professional etiquette for meetings and the reason for your absence.

HMC will have a Green Room for all students attendees on the day of the Hospitality Career Expo. Student leaders will be on hand to help with elevator pitches, to check-in on progress, to help get you through nerves, and answer any questions about the fair.
The Green Room will be open from 9:30 a.m. till 1:30 p.m. Stop by to unwind and prepare! Visit the Green Room on event day by joining this Zoom meeting.
