Dr. Ajay Aluri, a Chambers associate professor and founder of the Hospitality Innovation and Technology Lab, was recently named a top hospitality educator and featured in news coverage across dozens of markets in the U.S.

Students from the MSB der FH Münster - Münster School of Business in Germany joined Chambers MBA students for a cross-cultural learning experience that brought an international perspective to West Virginia. The experience included a global case competition, a visit to STOCKMEIER Urethanes’ facility in Clarksburg, and activities that gave students opportunities to collaborate and learn beyond the classroom.
The case competition saw students form six cross-cultural teams to develop a new German-inspired restaurant concept in Morgantown. The teams presented their ideas, including market analyses and strategic recommendations, giving students an opportunity to apply business concepts while collaborating with peers from another country.
Landing an internship with a Big Four accounting firm can be a major step toward a career. For Thao Nguyen, it also meant moving to a new city, navigating a new workplace, and learning what it takes to work directly with clients.

A team of five Business Honors students at Chambers made an impression against dozens of universities in an international business ethics competition.

Through those experiences, she came to focus her sights on the hospitality industry.
