72: Future of Hospitality: Lessons from University of Denver’s Fritz Knoebel School

In this episode of the Compassionate Leaders Circle Podcast, we continue our annual tradition of partnering with Dr. David Corsun, Director of the Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management at the University of Denver, and his students Arianna Rojas-Ortega, Copey Fuller, Maite Montes Gonzalez, and Stephanie Vancleve. Together, they share how Fritz Knoebel stands apart from other hospitality schools — emphasizing not just business acumen, but also compassion, purpose, and people-centered leadership.The conversation dives into how students learn the whole HR process, from recruiting and hiring to onboarding staff, and how these experiences prepare them to lead with kindness and effectiveness in the hospitality industry. You’ll hear firsthand how future leaders are blending practical skills with values-driven leadership to create workplaces where people can thrive.Learn more about Compassionate Leaders Circle — an organization dedicated to guiding leaders and organizations to build more compassionate workplaces and communities — at https://www.compassionateleaderscircle.com/
