Larry Culver (’64 H&RA), retired hotel owner, developer, and hotel management company president, began his career in food service. He realized if he wanted to grow professionally, he had to become a hotel manager. Choosing that path opened opportunities to develop his leadership potential and apply the skills he learned at WSU. His most transformational experiences evolved from learning how to launch and fund a new business. His distinguished career, contributions to industry, and service to WSU are among the reasons he was inducted into the School of Hospitality Business Management Hall of Fame.
