Learn­ing Com­mu­nity: To­gether we will de­velop an un­der­stand­ing of what it means to be an in­no­va­tor in the hos­pi­tal­ity in­dus­try. Using re­flec­tion to bet­ter iden­tify what is im­por­tant to the in­di­vid­ual and the com­mu­nity, stu­dents will in­cor­po­rate the prin­ci­ples dis­cov­ered into an ex­plo­ration of ca­reer op­por­tu­ni­ties. Mod­els of val­ues and ethics will be con­sid­ered, and hands on learn­ing will be prac­ticed in the learn­ing en­vi­ron­ment.

Learning Community: Together we will develop an understanding of what it means to be an innovator in the hospitality industry. Using reflection to better identify what is important to the individual and the community, students will incorporate the principles discovered into an exploration of career opportunities. Models of values and ethics will be considered, and hands on learning will be practiced in the learning environment.
