Sophia Lin Kanno ’05

Sophia Lin Kanno ’05, Event Producer at Kehoe Designs and Vice President of the CHS Chicago chapter, shares with us what it means to her to be a “Hotelie for Life”:

“The Hotel School gave me lasting friendships, a stellar education and the Cornell reputation, but being a Hotelie is an opportunity to pay it forward. I have used my industry experience to plan events and alumni programs for CHS, and retu…rn to Cornell each year during HEC as a guest speaker. Meeting students on a personal level allows me to connect with their career curiosities as they seek the right fit for their skills and interests. As a Hotelie in special events and design, I strive to forge the path that helps others hone their passion and discover their way into this side of the hospitality industry. I am enriched by the love for hospitality in my fellow alumni, and look to inspire + open doors for others.” #payitforward #hotelieforlife
