Part 2: Program Summary

Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program
The current state of the Hospitality and Tourism programs generally reflect those of other higher-education hospitality programs and the hospitality industry at large: people are reevaluating their relationship with their workplace, and the hospitality industry has been hit particularly hard, with about 1.8 million jobs lost between February 2020 and the end of 2021 (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/florida/articles/2022-03-05/thousands-of-people-leaving-restaurant-industry). As we revert back to pre-pandemic modes of operation, faculty and students are eager to explore how our graduates can impact the industry by putting in to practice some of tenets we address in the classroom: sustainable work/life balance, equitable wages, and more responsive human resource practices.

Part 5: Additional Action Plan in Support of Student Learning (If Appropriate)

Upcoming YearChanges Planned for the upcoming yearData Motivating this change
2021-2022
New full-time faculty will be added to the program beginning spring 2023. Faculty more dedicated specifically to our hospitality programs rather than splitting time between hospitality/culinary/beverage programs will eventually facilitate overall program growth and allow for development of better materials and tools that might better reflect actual student achievement. This plan of action will likely extend beyond one year before we see results.
2021-2022
More common courses between the HT AAS degree (and, by extension, the HT certificate, which is fully embedded in both the AA and AAS degrees) and the beverage and culinary AAS degrees may increase the number of declared majors and graduates.
