SENATE PRESIDENT SENATE-SECRETARY CHRISTOPHER B. POWELL EMILY L. WESTCOTT January 23, 2003 CSUN Executive Board and Senators MSU 302 Campus Stop 2009 University of Nevada, Las Vegas Dear CSUN Executive Board Members and Senators: I am writing on behalf of the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration to request funds for members of the UNLV chapter of the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality (NSMH) to travel to NSMH's national conference in February, 2003. This funding request is to supplement the funds provided by the Dean's office and through chapter fundraising. NSMH is a national, completely student-run organization dedicated to the personal and professional development of minority hospitality students. NSMH partners with business organizations to try to create opportunity for these students. At the local level, the UNLV chapter has hosted and/or participated in several professional development activities and community service events. For example, this semester chapter members helped build homes for the underprivileged with Habitat for Humanity; will participate this Saturday in the Terry Fox 5K run to raise money for cancer research; hosted a workshop in which Valerie Murzl, the corporate vice president of human resources at Station Casinos, discussed Station's diversity initiatives; and arranged to have the employment manager and director of training from the Luxor conduct an interviewing workshop. Nationally, NSMH's corporate sponsors conduct professional development workshops and participate in a career fair each year at the national conference. Last year UNLV was the host chapter to over 300 conference attendees from around the country, including 25 from UNLV. This February 20-23 the conference will be held in Boston, MA and we plan to have nearly the same number of UNLV representatives in attendance. One of our chapter members, Hannah Lee, currently serves as the western regional chairperson on NSMH's national board. At the 2002-2003 conference Hannah plans to run for reelection and will be joined by 2 other UNLV students in running for national office. Several of our students William F.
