THE JWU DIFFERENCE: PROGRAMS BUILT FOR DISCOVERY AND ACTION

“Being hospitable is an empathetic mindset that involves having a set of traits, skills and aptitudes to make another person feel truly welcomed and valued. Hospitality management is a career field in which the focus is on addressing the intangible experiences of the customer alongside the tangible elements.” — Sunil Atreya, CHE, associate professor and chair, College of Hospitality Management “You can sit in a classroom all day, read your textbook, take a test — but having hands-on experience is so beneficial to your learning and your education here at JWU. You’re able to really tackle what you’re learning in class and do it yourself. It’s unique to any other classroom setting you’ll ever be in.”

— Carlee Morgan ’21 Sports, Entertainment, Event — Management

“[Students] know they want to do something in sports, but they don’t really know what that means. I walk them through that journey and provide an awareness of what the different roles are. They learn about positions in community relations, marketing, sales, operations — all of those different areas that they’ve either never heard of or didn’t understand what they are.”

— Jeffrey Longo, associate professor, Sports, Entertainment, Event — Management
