$5,000 Diversity in Hospitality Scholarship
T
he Diversity in Hospitality scholarship, a partnership between the Hospitality Diversity Action Council and NEWH, and
underwritten by Emerald, works to encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion in and access to the hospitality industry by
supporting students who identify with under-represented and minority groups and are interested in careers in the industry.
What does receiving the HDAC scholarship mean to you?
Winning the scholarship is first of all humbling and I am very grateful. The money will help in paying for tuition for some classes that I would
not have otherwise taken. Being an international student has so many hidden impacts and having finances taken care of is a huge relief. I am
definitely going to support by bringing awareness to NEWH/HDAC with the university and students I work with in the future.
What are you most looking forward to?
I am looking forward to graduating, hopefully next year. This will be one step to working with students and partnering with industry
professionals through research to solve some of the challenges facing the industry, like environmental sustainability and employee, visitor,
and community wellbeing.
What drives your passion to be involved in the hospitality industry?
I think the hospitality industry has potential to make humanity better. When people travel, the people they meet and the experiences they
have that are not familiar help them to see and appreciate the shared human experience. I think the hospitality industry has a responsibility
to design spaces and experiences that constantly encourage people to get out of the familiar.
