The Foundation has established a research and scholarship program to support students in Hospitality and Foodservice Management Programs at accredited Colleges and Universities. The SHFM Foundation’s vision is to be the aligned, industry pipeline-focused, 501(c)(3) that extends SHFM’s impact from the workplace to institutions of learning through student education, original research and career development opportunities. Our program aims to provide support and to promote research projects that will benefit this industry, the academic community and the nurturing of students. Applications for this program were received from all over the country in 2019 and a panel narrowed the choices and selected the applications from: IUPUI / University of North Texas and University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College. Below are the findings of the research which they outlined for us at the 2019 national conference.
Additionally, Michigan State University, our 2020 selected research partner, shares their proposed research topic below.
