The heart of hospitality: careers and opportunities

The hospitality and tourism industry is rebounding. U.S. citizens are projected to spend $1.06 trillion on travel-related expenses this year. In 2025, that jumps to $1.26 trillion. Opportunity abounds for those with a heart for service and delighting the customer.

Join Makkah Mujahid, NIU student and Hyatt Hotel intern, Donna Collins, ’78, senior customer success manager at Meetings and Incentives Worldwide, and Joan Bottarini, ’93, chief financial officer at Hyatt Hotels for an engaging conversation moderated by NIU Professors Eunha Myung and Lan Li. They’ll talk about the heart of hospitality, careers, and opportunities in the hospitality and tourism industry.

All are welcome to register for this free event, which will take place Wednesday, April 6, from 6-7:30 p.m. CST.
**For NIU College of Business students, this is a Passport-approved event.
