Students celebrating Commencement in 2018

“While classroom learning equipped me with essential skills in hotel accounting and formulas, it was the university's emphasis on values, professionalism and strict policies that instilled discipline and steered me in the right direction. Today, as the CEO of my own luxury hospitality consulting firm, I owe a debt of gratitude to Johnson & Wales University for its pivotal role in my journey.”
