Board Senior Advisor Honored in Cornell Hall of Fame
On Sunday, November 12, the Cornell Hotel Society will induct its 2023 cohort into the Hall of Fame, which includes Evan Frazier. The committee has chosen a very special class of 11 inductees representing many aspects of Hotelie successes. While they didn’t start out with a theme for this class, as they selected the inductees, the theme of “Game Changers” emerged. These Hotelies didn’t just play the game better than others, they literally changed the game for the industry. Congratulations to Evan, Class of ‘92!
