New Learning Opportunities for Students To help students learn the skills they need to be competitive in the job market, the School of Hospitality Management is offering some new learning opportunities this year.
Hospitality in Senior Living Course The School of Hospitality Management has offered a course focused on the opportunities and challenges involved in managing continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) and senior living facilities. The course is taught from a hospitality perspective, and focuses on how the application of hospitality management can bring multiple advantages for senior communities and residents. The multidisciplinary content is team-taught by College of Health and Human Development faculty members who have expertise in designing and delivering services for seniors, including in the areas of long-term care administration, geriatric nursing, adulthood and aging, therapeutic recreation, nutrition and foodservice, and hospitality management. “We have some changes in mind for 2014, including a change in the name of the class to ‘Hospitality in Senior Living,’” said Bart Bartlett, associate professor of hospitality management who co-teaches the course. “The new name reflects the focus of the course on the hospitality perspective.”
