The Hospitality Management Association of IPFW would like to announce that we have now connected on Facebook with the Hospitality Management Association of Virginia Tech.
We would like to encourage members of both associations to join the Facebook pages of the Hospitality Management Association of Virginia Tech and the Hospitality Management Association of IPFW; by doing so, it will allow our students to communicate together, to share our experiences together, and to above all experience the Hospitality industry together. Working together, collaborating, and sharing ideas will definitely benefit both associations all students.
