Historical note
The curriculum of institutional administration was first offered in 1922 and headed by Eda Lord Murphy. In 1924, the Department of Institutional Administration was established within Iowa State's Division of Home Economics and both undergraduate and graduate work was offered. It was renamed the Department of Institutional Management in 1931. By 1947 the Ph.D. degree was added as a joint major with departments in related fields. In 1983, the name Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management (HRIM) was adopted. In 2001, this Department was combined with two others to form the Department of Apparel, Educational Studies and Hospitality Management (AESHM). This Department would become part of the College of Human Sciences when it was created by the merger of the College of Education and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences in 2005. The goals of HRIM are to maintain excellence in foodservice and lodging education, research and outreach with a desire to develop leaders for the foodservice and lodging professions. Student coursework is planned to not only provide students with a general education but also provides preparation for supervisory and executive positions in hospitality organizations. There are also great efforts in research and extension with the purpose of improving the effectiveness and quality of management in lodging and foodservice organizations.
Short Courses The Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management first offered the School Lunch Short course in 1948. The department also began offering advance school lunch short courses in 1955. Food service short courses for state board personnel and food service short courses for Iowa hospitals and state institutions were offered alongside the school lunch short courses. The first certifying school lunch short course was offered in 1962 and the department celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first school lunch short course in 1998. The food service short courses provides those attending with food demonstrations, lectures, group discussions, food preparation experience and a social experience among other food service workers. |
