Rising alumni who lead by example
The Council of Young Alumni comprises graduates who lead by example — rising stars in their careers and dedicated supporters of Nolan School students. These alumni are shaping emerging areas in the hospitality industry and play a key role in introducing innovative programming.

The dean of the Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration works closely with the council. Members are appointed by and work directly with the dean to help shape the next generation of hospitality leaders by:

• Providing guidance on industry trends, innovations, and opportunities to inform the school’s educational experience
• Serving as mentors and advisors to student leaders
• Fostering connections among alumni and strengthening the Hotelie culture of engagement
