After receiving a request from the faculty of the Food, Hotel and Tourism Department and discussing the request with their dean, I am changing the name of the department to the Hospitality Department. The department will begin using the new name immediately.
The department feels that this new approach recognizes that many individuals are employed in a variety of areas in the hospitality industry. The new name offers marketing opportunities for the department that set it above the current image of a food, hotel and tourism department.
