Winners of IDeaS Cornell Revenue Management Scholarship

The Cornell School of Hotel Administration has named the first three winners of the IDeaS Cornell Revenue Management Scholarship: Crystal Edwards, assistant revenue manager at Governor Hotel in Portland, Oregon; Fraser Pearce, revenue manager at Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; and Alexandre Teixeria, revenue manager at Grand Hyatt Sao Paolo in Brazil.

A scholarship panel at the school selected the recipients based on demonstrated excellence in revenue management and drive to enhance their profession.

The scholarship program, funded by IDeaS Revenue Optimization, provides recipients with paid registration to five eCornell courses leading to an eCornell Hotel Revenue Management Certificate.

"We are excited to award the first round of IDeaS Cornell Revenue Management Scholarships," said Tom Kline, executive director of executive education at the School of Hotel Administration. "Thanks to IDeaS, we are able to provide these hospitality professionals with a truly unique professional development opportunity."

The scholarship will be awarded to a total of six hospitality professionals this calendar year. Applications for the remaining three scholarship awards are being accepted until Monday, October 19, 2009.
