NSMH: The weekend in pictures

A little twist on the usual blog!  In February, our team traveled to Washington, DC for the NSMH (National Society of Minorities in Hospitality) National Conference.  Hyatt is a proud sponsor of the conference.  We love the opportunity to engage with future industry leaders and the talented members of NSMH don’t disappoint!

Heidi, Brook, and I were all on various campuses and met up in DC.  I planned to travel to  Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) after the conference, so my rollerbags were filled to the brim.

The conference was held at Hyatt RegencyCrystal City.  As the host hotel, the team at Crystal City provided amazing service and the students attending the conference fell in love with the property!  I especially loved the Georgetown Cupcakes (my favorite) that were waiting for me when I arrived to my room.

During the conference, Brook and I participated in the Hospitality Olympics.  This year the Olympics were Boys vs Girls.  Luckily Brook and I didn’t have to actually compete, instead we were “tippers” and helped the Girls team during the last 30 seconds of each event.   I think we “tipped” the scales in their favor, because the Girls team claimed sweet victory!

The  NSMH Conference is one of the events that brings our entire team together.  We also have the opportunity to spend time with our Campus Ambassadors.

Our Campus Ambassadors and Corporate Management Trainees did an awesome job representing Hyatt at our booth during the career fair!  We’re so proud of them and they truly live the Hyatt brand!

After a full weekend of networking, presentations, interviews, and panels, I thought for sure I was overtired and seeing things at the airport.  But I have the picture to prove that Ben Franklin and I were departing the city on the same day.

We can’t wait for next year’s NSMH National Conference!  Hopefully Orlando, Florida will be ready for NSMH!

Hyatt Hotels & Resorts is ranked No. 51 on THE BLACK COLLEGIAN’s list of the Top 100 Employers of the Class of 2009

Top 100 Entry-Level Employers for 2009 Announced
NEW ORLEANS, LA — February 4, 2009 — Despite the gloomy economic and employment news of the past several months, the job outlook for the Class of ’09 is not entirely bleak, according to employment research and hiring survey results to appear in THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine.

For those holding college degrees, the impact of the economic downturn and recent layoffs will be partially alleviated by a continuing demand for entry-level candidates to replace retiring baby boomers, as detailed by Dr. Philip Gardner, director of the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. Although some employers may have curtailed their on-campus recruiting activity or re-adjusted their entry-level hiring projections for the early part of this year, others are still planning to recruit, many through expanded online means.

THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine conducts an annual survey to determine the most active recruiters of college seniors for entry-level jobs. Employers were asked the number of projected hires from on-campus recruiting, the number of campuses they recruit on, and the top majors they are recruiting. This survey results in the list of the Top 100 Employers is published in the magazine’s Second Semester Super Issue, and in an extended online feature and spring Virtual Career Fair at http://www.blackcollegian.com/.
