Dr. Jogaratnam incorporated academic service-learning in HRM 430 Seminar in Hospitality Management in the winter term of 2001.

As part of the service-learning assignment, students had to work with a community service agency to identify and resolve functional or process issues related to hospitality and/or foodservices management. In this role, the students were to apply the skills and techniques acquired in class to help streamline activities at a service site.
