More than 200 scholars and industry leaders are expected at the Cornell Hospitality, Health and Design Symposium, which will examine the evolving relationship among the fields of hospitality, health care, senior living and design.

The conference, scheduled for Oct. 9-11, is sponsored by the Cornell Institute for Healthy Futures (CIHF), a collaboration between the School of Hotel Administration and the College of Human Ecology. The symposium will be unlike any other in linking hospitality, health care and design, according to Rohit Verma, CIHF director and dean of external relations at the Cornell College of Business.
