Quality Management

Welcome to the Advisory Board of HRM

Advisory Board

This Advisory Board is comprised of industry professionals representing lodging, food & beverage, casino, allied operations and industry educators.

The five areas we are working on are:

  • Program Marketing
  • Enrollment Management
  • Curriculum Evolution
  • Student Placement
  • Development

Hotel & Restaurant Management Program at Eastern Michigan University is the only program in the state of Michigan granted accreditation (2007 - 2014). With input from the advisory board the undergraduate and graduate curriculum has been dramatically revised. We have also begun the work on the Kitchen Renovation Campaign and have several events planned.
