The Hospitality, Restaurant and Tourism Management (HRTM) program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is supported by an advisory board composed of 13 industry professionals. This board serves as a vital link, fostering ongoing collaboration and the exchange of ideas between faculty, staff, and students within the program. Each board member is carefully selected based on their expertise and dedication to advancing the success of the HRTM program and its students.
Working hand-in-hand with the HRTM program director, faculty, and staff to prepare students for leadership roles in the hospitality industry, the key responsibilities of the HRTM Advisory Board include, but are not limited to:
- Attending all board meetings
