What an incredible way to wrap up the Spring semester!
This past Tuesday began with a special opportunity for our students to enjoy lunch with Magen Bentley from Hilton Corporate as well as Neena Maneklal, HR Manager at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, creating a more personal space to connect, ask questions, and gain industry insight.
Later in the day, we had the privilege of hosting representatives from Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, DoubleTree Mission Valley, and Hilton University Relations at our “Hiltons of San Diego” Fair. We’re truly grateful to the leaders from these local properties who took the time to engage with our students, share their experiences, and open doors to exciting career opportunities.
The evening continued with a special honorary guest lecture from Linda Hilton, chair of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Board Executive Committee, who offered valuable insights into the rich history, core values, and forward-looking vision of the Hilton brand. Her perspective was both inspiring and impactful for our future hospitality professionals.
We sincerely appreciate Linda Hilton and all of our Hilton partners for their continued support and commitment to developing the next generation of hospitality leaders.
