GGB PODCAST: Stowe Shoemaker, Former Dean, William F. Harrah College of Hospitality, University of Nevada Las Vegas
Today, the GGB Podcast features an interview with Stowe Shoemaker (l.), the former dean of the William F. Harrah College of Hospitality at UNLV, on his tenure there and how he took the college to the next level.
The UNLV William F. Harrah College of Hospitality has been the foundation for many casino executives in Nevada and around the world. When Stowe Shoemaker became dean of the college its reputation had slid a bit and Shoemaker wanted to turn it around. A graduate of the hospitality college at Cornell University, another one of the top schools in the country for that discipline, Shoemaker knew what worked and what didn’t. He charted a course for the UNLV college that was different and unique. That included a new building that would reflect the excellent education that UNLV offers its gaming and hospitality students. Now an executive with the UNLV Foundation, Shoemaker met with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at his offices in Las Vegas in January.
