Join us for the Ambassador Awards!

Campus House is excited to host the annual Hospitality Ambassador Awards for its 20th year.  This year's Awards gala will highlight the progress of both the hospitality and tourism industry as well as the progress of our city.  Three local "ambassadors" will be honored, as well as a number of Hospitality student scholarship awardees.

The ceremony will be held at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23. A grand reception will follow at Campus House.  The menu for the event will celebrate areas and landmarks in Buffalo that represent both the past and the future of our great city.   The Ambassador Awards will showcase the changing landscapes of Canalside and the Waterfront, Downtown Buffalo and the Electric Tower, Hertel Avenue, and the eastside Central Terminal and Broadway Market.

Each district or area will have a corresponding dish (or multiple dishes!) with paired drinks for each available at various stations throughout Campus House.  The student staff at Campus House, in both the kitchen and dining room, are looking forward to presenting the following:

*Passed appetizers (paired with Cuvee 61 Brut champagne and Lacrima de Morro d'Alba)
