| Abstract: | In 1987, the School of Hotel Administration and the Department of Human Service Studies at Cornell University joined efforts to design and implement a new course entitled Housing and Feeding the Homeless. This course has allowed students to use their skills and expertise in hospitality management and human service administration to respond to hungry and homeless individuals in the community. This article outlines the origin of the course and objectives, structure, content, and field placement design. It also describes students' reaction to the course and highlights issues of concern for anyone interested in offering a similar course. |
