The School of Hospitality & Tourism Management encourages all students to develop their sense of community service and has a “Volunteer Coordinator” chosen by the students to coordinate this important role. The opportunities should be related to hospitality such as assisting with a charity event. We also are able to assist with casual/temporary help for ad hoc events. Our coordinator can assist you with a group of talented employees for your event. Please contact Mesa.Volunteer@gmail.com to see if we may be able to assist you. Please note school must come first and we may not be able to assist or excuse students from class attendance. We also offer many opportunities for the high school students to receive community service credit hours when they participate in some of these volunteering opportunities. Recently several high schools helped out with the huge ASAE, American Society of Association Executives’ conference at the San Diego Convention Center as well as the ALISCONFERENCE held at the new Hilton Bayfront in January 2009.

Another recent event was the Under 30 Gateway, Afternoon of Service community service project held in conjunction with the American Hotel & Lodging Association.
