CNI to Launch Special Series of Lectures in Singapore

From this Friday, 13 March 2009, through to 8 May 2009, the Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management will host a series of lectures in Singapore presented by hospitality industry leaders.

Open to the public, the Dean’s Distinguished Lecture series aims to promote excellence and dedication to success through the teachings of the hospitality industry’s most seasoned leaders and young rising stars.
