Student Organizations

Hilton College is home to nine different student organizations, including a group for our graduate students. These student-led organizations offer a myriad of ways to get involved, give back to the community, make friends, network with professionals and gain experience in all sectors of the hospitality industry. Students who’d like to join any of the groups may do so at the Student Organizations Fair (org fair), which is held at the beginning of each semester. For more information, contact our student organization staff coordinator Katy Frietsch.
