Message from the Director
The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management (STHM) has become a global leader in research and scholarship. STHM consists of a diverse group of dedicated faculty who enhance the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the hospitality, leisure, recreation, sport and tourism sectors.
STHM faculty conduct multidisciplinary research to achieve four key objectives: a) produce and encourage quality publications in top-ranked referred academic journals, b) facilitate connections with industry partners to provide solutions to business, community and government organizations, c) generate research capacity through external funding that bridge research and practice, and d) promote an intellectual culture by embedding research skills and competencies within the undergraduate and graduate curriculum.
Collectively, STHM faculty are among the most productive scholars. This
productivity can be thematically grouped into five broad areas of research
excellence that represent our core strengths of:
Consumer Behavior, Information Technology and Communications,
Organizational Behavior, Physical Activity and Sports Participation, and
Financial Control and Revenue Management.
STHM has also developed a strong focus on graduate education with our
faculty supervising doctoral students who earn PhD degrees in Business
Administration with a concentration in Tourism & Sport Management from the
Fox School of Business. Our goal is to place 100 percent of our graduating PhDs
in aspirant schools where excellent research and scholarship are rewarded.
