SHL professor and student submit case study, win award

Hatteras Ferry

School of Hospitality Leadership professor Dr. Cynthia Deale and Jennifer London, sustainable tourism and hospitality graduate student, took first place in the Johnson & Wales sponsored Hospitality & Tourism Case Study Competition & Publication Series. It’s an annual competition offered through the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education (ICHRIE).

Their case study submission, titled Hatteras and Highway 12: A Chain Of Complexity, garnered a $1,000 cash award. It explored the interconnectedness between Highway 12 and Hatteras Island, which are located off the coast of North Carolina, and the efforts implemented and proposed to preserve the highway. The dilemma presented in the case focused on the need for additional alternative approaches to ensure the highway’s sustainability and the preservation of Hatteras Island for residents and tourists.

The ICHRIE Johnson & Wales Hospitality &Tourism Case Study Competition and Publication Series has existed for the past nine years and has led to the publication of nine volumes (consisting of four issues each volume) of the Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Cases.
