Jenny Zhang of Williamsville, a senior and hotel administration student at Cornell University, won an interesting prize recently. Zhang was awarded second place and a $250 prize by the Center for Hospitality Research  Emerging Scholars.

She worked to compare financial characteristics of an acquisition-minded lodging firm to a firm with no acquisitions.

Projects were selected from a panel of participants in the Hotel Ezra showcase, who examined posters of the research and discussed the projects with the researchers.

Congratulations to Zhang, for her noteworthy scholarly endeavors.
