Greetings TISOH family,

Welcome to the Fall 2021 edition of the Pineapple Newsletter.

What a year it has been! A strong resurgence of the hospitality industry is already underway which means that many businesses are seeking talent to fill their open positions. Right now is the perfect time to invest in your skills and training to further your professional development in hospitality. We have a special offer listed below for hospitality professionals and I encourage all of you to take advantage of our exclusive tuition benefits.

In addition, this newsletter will look back into our past semester highlights including our TISOH speaker series along with resuming our student site visits and events. Be sure to check into our alumni hub, TISOHnext, for the latest news and happenings.

As we approached the end of the year, TISOH will continue to offer our programs both online or in-person at our Las Vegas campus. Classes begin September 13 for the Fall 2021 semester.

In the meantime, wear your mask, stay safe, and stay healthy. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
