For any tourist, from a simple cross-state road-trip to an international expedition, technology has only made our lives easier when it comes to booking and spending a night in a hotel. But for people like Dr. Carl P Borchgrevink, Director of The School of Hospitality Business at Michigan State University, he worries that too much technology will make the hospitality industry lose it’s human touch; to avoid the deterioration of hospitality culture, Dr. Borchgrevink is taking things into his own hands and helping instill those values in today’s students.

“That’s what we are all hungry for as educators, we want to share what we know and demonstrate how we can be useful,” Borchgrevink said. Today, he joins us on the Hospitality Podcast to discuss tech in the hospitality industry, as well labor shortages and teaching the next generation of hospitality business owners.

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

A study of 497 faculty at public and private universities in India finds organizational support positively and significantly associated with faculty agility. Agility, in turn, partly links digital transformation to sustainable work outcomes.

  • 01Faculty agility partially mediates the link between digital transformation and sustainable work outcomes; the article frames the takeaway as a conditional: campuses adopting AI may need to plan for faculty readiness and support alongside measuring adoption, rather than treating it as a software purchase alone.
  • 02The findings come from a cross-sectional survey, so they show association rather than cause, and they sit alongside other research where the proposed middle step did not carry AI's effect through.

Strada's $25M HBCU bet started with listening, not a program to fund

Strada's $25M HBCU bet started with listening, not a program to fund

Strada Education Foundation committed $25 million over eight years to HBCUs in August 2020 and, instead of imposing a pre-designed program, ran a listening tour with presidents and chancellors to surface needs. The framework that emerged now runs at 47 institutions, pairing a $7,000 scholarship per student with $1,200 per student per year that campuses can direct toward work-based learning barriers—shifting power from funder control to campus ownership. Graham says Strada’s seniors run well ahead of national internship figures, which he attributes to treating work-based learning as part of the educational experience from the start, supported by coaching and advising.

  • 01Strada Education Foundation committed $25 million over eight years to HBCUs, then developed a work-based learning-focused framework after a listening tour with campus leaders.
  • 02The foundation prioritized listening to the institutions before creating the scholarship program.
  • 03The initiative allows HBCUs to direct funds according to their specific needs.
