Ten weeks of learning about all aspects of hospitality, tourism and guest services, with math, writing, public speaking, computer training, and 3 weeks of externships at hotels in the Buffalo area, culminated in a wonderful event. Student's friends and families, externship hosts (Marriott, Adams Mark, Millennium, Central Referral 2-1-1 Service, Holiday Inn, DoubleTree, and Veterans Administration Medical Center), and benefactors honored by Olmsted and Statler joined us in the celebration. The students of the first Statler Training and Employment Program for Telephone Banking Call Center were included. VISION AWARD: The Statler Vision Award Vision means more than just sight. Everyone associated with the National Statler Center for Careers in Hospitality Service understands this more than most. The Vision Award not only recognizes an individual’s caring dedication, but also their forward thinking as well. In addition, it gratefully acknowledges their willingness to share their knowledge, enthusiasm and resources all of which allow for life-changing opportunities for the blind, visually impaired and otherwise disabled. In July 2007, Herb Siegel pledged $100,000 from the Herb Siegel Foundation, to the National Statler Center for Careers in Hospitality Service. This generous grant will be used to provide cutting edge computer equipment and software to all Statler Center students. A current Statler Center student recently said “technology is one of my strongest links to the outside world; it literally removes the barriers that would have kept me socially and professional behind, and allows me to live to my fullest in a sighted world.” The Statler Center lab will be renamed, in honor of Herb Siegel, and Siegel Kelleher and Kahn in late spring 2008. CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EXPO: Workshop attendees will be provided with tips and tricks that can be used in the job search process as well as the interviewing process, an overview of the hospitality industry training provided by the Statler Center, and a glimpse of the available adaptive software for individuals with visual impairments.
