Curious? Good. Lets answer your questions!
What does LGMA stand for?
Lodging & Gaming Management Association.
Do I have to be a Hospitality Major to join?
Absolutely not! While we have many Hospitality majors our LGMA Leadership Team is comprised of a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds. We find a way for all majors to benefit from LGMA.
Can freshman join?
YES! We are open to freshman, sophomores, juniors & seniors and graduate students! We even invite you to bring along a friend, room mate, or anyone that may have interest in the hospitality industry.
What types of activities does LGMA participate in?
We pride ourselves on providing monthly site tours, celebrity hospitality executive speakers, & professional development days. We are always adding to further enrich our members experience.
How much are dues?
Everyone is welcome to join us at our opportunity meetings at no charge, but in order to take advantage of all the wonderful perks such as site tours, exclusive business meetings with top execs, and conferences we ask you to become a paid member for only as little as $10!
Do I have to dress up for events?
LGMA holds their meetings in the evenings with many students coming from classes, other group meetings, work, etc. LGMA's meetings are social-casual evenings, we understand being full-time students doesn't always allow for students to change, and invite you to come as you are. Site-tours and LGMA line-of-business trips are always business professional.
Where else is there an LGMA?
The Lodging & Gaming Management Association is the first of it's kind in all the top ten hospitality schools, colleges and institutions nationwide. We are leading the path for those to follow and currently are in the process of building organizations outside of Michigan State University at University of Nevada- Las Vegas as well as creating solid partnerships with other organizations such as PARC at Michigan State University as well as the Hotel Association at the University of Nevada- Las Vegas Campus to create greater opportunities for our members.
When do you meet?
Starting in January of 2009 LGMA will meet every other Tuesday at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center in various ballrooms, auditoriums or meeting rooms. For our meeting topics please see our Events & Speakers page
