“…Samenfink (1995) noted that internships are outlets that should be used to invigorate faculty and bring excitement back to the classroom as well as stimulate new research interests. This idea is mirrored by other researchers that believe vocationally‐oriented faculty tend to thrive on the industry of which they teach and starve for the excitement of guest service and fast‐paced production missing in their teaching careers (Chesser et al , 1993). Failure to create and support opportunities for faculty to reenter the industry squelches the overall motivation for these individuals to perform in the classroom, seek outside experiences for the students, and contributes to little or no interest in researching the issues facing the industry.…”

This study investigates the experiences of both faculty and hosting property executives with internship programs offered through the Council for Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education. Surveys were sent, via myriad methods, to participants asking for a summary of their experiences and suggestions for improvement. Also of interest was the feedback from hosts; therefore, surveys were also sent to all hosting company representatives for similar feedback. It was discovered that internships are of growing value to faculty and hospitality organizations and the continued development of experiences must be a priority. An interesting suggestion made by hosting executives was the hope that they could arrange internships with educational institutions, wherein they could also return to the academic environment to rekindle enthusiasm, obtain new skills, and update their knowledge on issues facing the industry they represent.

“…For instance, Chesser, Ellis and Rothenberg (1993) and Chesser and Ellis (1994) reported on ways to motivate faculty and to improve faculty vitality. Others have introduced and validated new teaching techniques or methods (Groves, 2001;Deale, 2003;Getty & Getty 2003;Cho, Erdem & Johanson, 2006) while additional studies have focused on enhancing the quality of educators by evaluating the value of faculty exchanges or internships, both domestically and internationally (Saminfink, 1995;Grunwell, 2001;Harris, Swanger, Taylor, Thomas-Haysbert & Zhao, 2002).…”
