About Eta Sigma Delta<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1978, a group of students from the 海角直播 of New Hampshire\u2019s Whittemore School of Business and Economics identified a need to recognize hospitality and tourism students for outstanding academic achievement, meritorious service and demonstrated professionalism.<\/p>\n At that time, honor societies existed for other disciplines, but not for the field of study serving one of the\u00a0world\u2019s largest industries.<\/p>\n As a special project, the students researched and evaluated a variety of options for fulfilling this need. The end result was the establishment of the first chapter of Eta Sigma Delta International Hospitality Management Society. Today, there are over 90 active Eta Sigma Delta chapters throughout the world. The growth is testament to the dedication of both students and professionals in hospitality and tourism to the pursuit of academic, professional and personal excellence. The guidance and support of International CHRIE has made it possible for ESD to grow. It is the intent that this Society will lead hospitality and tourism educators and professionals to the highest levels of professionalism and achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Students of the Eta Sigma Delta chapter at the 海角直播\u2019s Rosen College of Hospitality Management recently honored chef instructor Jay Judy as Teacher of the Year.
