The Hotelie Podcast

We are Cornell Hotel Students running a hospitality-based podcast out of the best Hospitality Management School in the world. Our podcast aims to engage students, professors, visiting speakers, and industry players in a new, unique platform easily accessible by all. We envision interviewing hospitality professors and industry leaders about their careers, the lessons they learned, and the advice they have for hospitality success. This platform is essential for students looking for career advice and insights to be more prepared to join the hospitality workforce. In making these podcasts, anyone who tunes in will be provided with a unique opportunity to get to know our Cornell community in a lively and socially friendly way. Join us as we project Hotelie stories to live on forever.
