NSMH JWU-RI Chapter wins National Chapter of the Year
Johnson & Wales University Providence’s student chapter of the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality has earned Chapter of the Year; Largest Membership – Northeast and Best Membership Drive honors from its national parent organization. The group was honored at the society’s 27th Annual National Conference in Washington, D.C. The award recognizes the chapter that has excelled in its commitment to the society’s mission and vision. That includes completing multiple community service projects and creating professional development workshops for its members.
Member Claudio Beckford ‘17 was awarded a position on the National Board as the 2016-2017 Northeast Regional Chair.
The three-day conference attracted over 600 students from 80 chapters across the nation. The theme of this conference was “One Nation, One House: Diversity Matters.” The sixteen students from Johnson & Wales University Providence attended panel discussions and workshops that explored career development and trends in the hospitality industry. They also networked with hundreds of students and employers at the conference’s large career fair.
Chapter co-president, Brian Goodman states, “NSMH has allowed myself and countless other students to explore the hospitality in depth by celebrating diversity, and continuous learning, growing, personal and professional development. This conference proved that NSMH is without a doubt, an exceptional organization to be a part of — both on the chapter and national level.”
Johnson & Wales University Providence’s NSMH student chapter celebrates human and experiential diversity in all aspects of the hospitality industry, including hotels, restaurants, casinos, and country clubs. For its members, it is a resource for career development, community service, and the exploration of industry trends. To learn more about NSMH, visit the Involvement Network, or email bgoodman@jwu.edu
