A Review of Hospitality and Tourism Management Graduates' Post Education Employment

The Hospitality and Tourism Management industry is extensive and can be overwhelming for students to determine possible career paths. A survey of graduates of Appalachian State University’s Hospitality and Tourism Management was conducted. This surveyed aimed to answer the questions what career paths can be pursued with a Hospitality and Tourism Management degree and how beneficial is having this degree in finding a job within this industry. The survey also analyzed graduates’ perceptions of the program and what changes should be made

Helen Winkelmes to Samuel R. Owens, October 23, 1945

When Samuel Robert Rickman Owens was born on April 10, 1918, he was the ninth of the eleven children of Steven John Owens and Frances Elvira Alexander Owens. His sister, Flora Helen Owens Winkelmes, was the Owens’ second child—born April 28, 1906. Helen’s letter to her brother, “Sammy,” was written on October 23, 1945. It is clear from the context of the letter that this was fairly soon after Samuel Owens’ return to the United States after being held as a prisoner of war at Fukouaka—a Japanese prisoner camp. With Owens having been a P.O.W. since 1942, the sentiment expressed in Helen’s letter reflects that of a family member that has been waiting years for their soldier to return safely to American soil. Helen’s letter to her brother was originally addressed in black ink to the Oakland Navy Hospital in San Francisco, California. This is crossed out with blue ink, and redirected to Parris Island, South Carolina. From the handwriting, it is unclear whether Helen made this change herself. The envelope is postmarked in Savannah, Georgia, where Helen lived, on October 23, 1945 and was postmarked by the U.S. Navy on November 3, 1945

Absolut Vodka Media Plan 2019

The media plan will include an executive summary, brand history, buyer personas, market and competitor analysis, primary and secondary research, SWOT analysis, a full media schedule for a yearlong campaign, budget, the different media vehicles, and designed advertisements to run with the campaign. This media plan will focus on a target audience including both males and females ranging in age from 25-34. I want to focus on the young professional age groups. Using the information I know about Absolut, I will identify target geographical areas. For my primary research I am going to use surveys and focus groups in order to gage how the target audience feels about and responds to our product. I will also calculate reach, frequency, GRPS, and impressions for each of the ads run. By completing this media plan, I will gain a better understanding of how to identify a target audience and determine their needs. This project will combine what I’ve learned in both my creative and business classes as well as give me a chance to use my marketing minor

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education: E-Journals

Online education, both by for-profit institutions and within traditional universities, has seen recent tremendous growth and appeal - but online education has many aspects that are not well understood. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education provides a thorough and engaging reference on all aspects of this field, from the theoretical dimensions of teaching online to the technological aspects of implementing online courses–with a central focus on the effective education of students.This entry focuses on E-Journals: E-journals, also known as electronic journals or online journals, are scholarly journals that can be accessed electronically, usually via the Internet. Access is often limited to “subscribers,” which can be either individuals or institutions (e.g., libraries) that pay a fee, usually via an annual subscription cost or a pay-per-view model

Overcoming Transactional Distance

Theory is increasingly important as libraries transition traditional reference practices to online learning environments. This paper suggests and explores the boundaries of a new theory of reference interaction in the online environment that is grounded in online learning theories and the educational theory of transactional distance. The paper examines an operational definition of the librarian’s instructional intent in email reference service, considering it the level of customized content in canned, instructional messages at institutions that provide e-mail reference service. This definition is tested statistically, suggesting that when a canned response is edited for content by the responder more instruction is likely to occur and transactional distance is overcome

A Case Study of Librarian Outreach to Scientists: Collaborative Research and Scholarly Communication in Conservation Biology

Global collaboration is increasingly important across universities and conservation biology organizations. In this example, a partnership resulted in the creation of a short-course aimed at exploring communication forms and digital tools that facilitate scholarly communication in conservation biology. Questions the authors hoped to answer in the course were: What are the benefits and limitations of these tools? How can researchers in conservation biology use these methods to share data, show impact and connect to colleagues and stakeholders? Why is open access even more important in this highly collaborative scholarly environment? How can communities of interest benefit scientists and the public

The Florida Community College Statewide Collection Assessment Project: Outcomes and Impact

A collection assessment project was conducted in 1998 of the twenty eight community college library/Library Resource Center (LRC) collections in Florida.1 The evaluative materials provided to each of the institutions produced a number of outcomes. To assess the project’s impact, a survey was conducted in fall 2000. The impact study found that, in the opinion of library administrators, the Florida Community College Collection Assessment study had influenced the appropriation of additional funds, informed librarians’ collection development decisions, and affected the weeding of collections through the presentation of institution-specific collection assessment reports that were provided for each library. The major finding of the impact study was that the additional funding for community college library acquisitions, passed by the Florida legislature in 1999, was not wholly successful in the revamping of outdated book collections because many of the Florida community college libraries received only part or none of the funding. The utilization of the project data, the findings of the impact study, and other follow-up to the project are reported in this article
