Stafford, is an event managed by our students and involves students from many majors. It is a scholarship fundraiser proudly undertaken to show family, friends, faculty and industry leaders what the Hotel, Restaurant & Resort Management students of Northwood University can achieve.  Net proceeds directly benefit the student scholarship fund.
