The Glion Institute of Higher Education – one of the world’s top three institutes of higher education for an international career in hospitality management (TNS Global Survey, 2013,) – has received the 2014 IAIR Award in the category of Best Company for Leadership in Higher Education, Europe, during a ceremony at the Palazzo Mezzanotte in Milan, Italy.
“It is truly an honor to receive this award,” says Judy Hou, CEO of Glion Institute of Higher Education. “For more than 50 years, Glion has been at the forefront of hospitality management education worldwide. This is an important international recognition for our continuous academic innovation and leadership in the industry.”
The IAIR Awards event recognized a number of companies from all over the world. Award recipients were recommended for business excellence by the IAIR readers’ votes, including business and financial journalists in 120 countries, followed by the selection of the editorial staff. Previous IAIR recipients include internationally renowned companies such as Novartis, IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and Bank of China.
“This award comes at an exciting time for Glion. We opened a new branch campus in London at the end of 2012 and will be announcing a new and promising program later next year,” says Judy.
