Course Description:
In this course, you will learn about the origins of hospitality, the guest-host relationship, and considerations for in higher education environments. Colleges and universities are dealing with rising student mental health needs, faculty, and staff burnout, increasing competition from alternative learning programs, and commuter students who feel disconnected. One way to address these problems is by applying the concepts of hospitality to campus design. Research into the cultural origins of hospitality show that hosts can fill fundamental human needs by extending psychological and physical security, belonging, and wellbeing to their guests. Designing spaces that offer protection, intellectual welcome, and open table fellowship can help faculty, staff, and students develop a sense of belonging to their campus communities.
