Undergraduate

For the second year in a row, Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration has been ranked No. 1 in the world for hospitality and hotel management by CEOWORLD magazine.

Damian Mogavero brought his success story to the Hotel School on Sept. 18 in a whirlwind 24-hour visit that included guest-lecturing, sharing every meal with groups of students and faculty members, and speaking about his new book.

Having really taken my own path at Cornell and beyond, here is my advice for Dyson students who seek to do things differently and stand out in the crowd.

115 Cornell students spent the weekend of Sept. 29–Oct. 1 coming up with ideas focused on the luxury hotel industry during a hospitality hackathon.

In hindsight, there was not merely one instance, but numerous, seemingly trivial moments that collectively shaped my opinion of and love for the school.

The Hotel School has given me more practical skills than I could ever ask for. This is thanks to the curriculum, which offers more practical courses rather than purely theoretical ones.

When it came to starting his own business, Rob Karp ’19 was miles ahead of his peers. He was all of 14 when he turned his passion for airlines and his prowess for numbers into a travel consulting company.

As a senior, I can’t help but already feel a little melancholy as I reflect on my time at Cornell and in the Dyson School.

Dyson moves up two spots on the 2018 list of best undergraduate business programs, while Cornell advances one spot on the list of best national universities.
