Abstract
This article describes the results of a study conducted in Spring 2002 that looked at the effects of 9/11 and the economic downturn on recruiting in hospitality management programs in the United States. Administrators of two- and four-year CHRIE member hospitality programs were surveyed. Comparative analysis found some significant differences between two-and four-year programs with regard to job offers received, the kinds of recruiters coming to campus, starting salary levels, and recruiter attendance at career fairs.
