Impact and Inclusion Director

Soma Nwajagu

Soma Nwajagu, a junior at the Nolan School of Hotel Administration from Abuja, Nigeria, is passionate about the intersection of hospitality and information science. This interest has driven them to pursue internships in data and business analytics. Their passion stems from their desire to create efficient business processes and solutions.

Soma joined Hotel Ezra Cornell as a People and Culture Manager for HEC 98 and served as one of the Impact and Inclusion Assistant Directors for HEC 99. As this year's Hotel Ezra Cornell Impact and Inclusion Director, Soma aims to understand the current DEI climate, adapt our training and events accordingly, and compile these insights into a comprehensive data report. In her current position, Soma looks forward to continuing this vital work and making a lasting impact on our conference and community.

Outside of HEC, Soma enjoys dancing, bike rides, and design. On campus, they can often be found working at the Alternatives Library, fulfilling RA duties in Ganendago Hall or dancing in Willard Straight.
