CHRIE FutureFund™ Thanks ICHRIE Members

CHRIE FutureFund™ Thanks ICHRIE Members

CHRIE FutureFund™ had a very successful Annual Conference in Phoenix and thank all ICHRIE members who supported CHRIE FutureFund™ initiatives.  The leadership of co-chairs Misty Johanson and Carl Winston resulted in the support of five (5) doctoral students attending the Annual Conference as winners of the inaugural Dissertation Competition, and four (4) Best Paper Winners from the Graduate Conference held last January. The return of the highly anticipated Duck Race drew a raucous crowd around the Lazy River at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa and raised just shy of $2,000.  The annual 50-50 Raffle raised a record $4,060. Along with the $4,000 donation to support the Grad Conference Best Paper Winners, your Future Fund raised approximately $10,000 to date in 2023. This achievement would not be possible without your support.
 
The CHRIE FutureFund™ has identified support for graduate education and the support of graduate students as a primary objective. Graduate students are the future professoriate, so supporting our future helps ensure member institutions have qualified, talented individuals on their teams, and these future faculty will become leaders within their respective programs and ICHRIE. Over the next several weeks we will introduce you to the individual doctoral students we supported this year.  Each has a wonderful story to tell, and each will be a terrific addition to any hospitality program. For now, we share the work for which each won their respective award.
 

Graduate Conference Best Paper Winners:

Barbara Atanga & Lavi Peng – Customer misbehavior: The joint impact of a symbolic recovery strategy and cultural tightness-looseness on observing customers’ recovery satisfaction (along with supervising professor Anna Mattila) The Pennsylvania State University.
 
Araceli Hernandez Calderon – Theory-driven predictive modeling for food-service crowdfunding success: An integrated approach with business intelligence and supervised machine learning (along with supervising professors Yoon Koh & Minwoo Lee) University of Houston.
 
Wangoo Lee – Examining the “waiting line” effect during menu ordering with self-service technologies (along with supervising professor Lu Lu) Temple University.
 

Dissertation Proposal Winners:

Have you HEARD?

At our upcoming 2023 Annual ICHRIE Summer Conference, we are having a closing reception on Friday, 21 July at the beautiful HEARD Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. We are excited to be sharing a real sense of place at our conference location and can’t wait to share this incredible museum with all of our conference attendees. The Heard Museum sets the standard for collaborating with American Indian artists and tribal communities to provide a distinctive perspective on the art and history of Native people, especially those from the Southwest.


Since its founding by Dwight and Maie Bartlett Heard in 1929, the Heard Museum has become recognized internationally for the quality of its collections, world-class exhibitions, educational programming, and its unmatched festivals. Dedicated to the advancement of American Indian art, the Heard presents the stories of American Indian people from a first-person perspective, as well as exhibitions that showcase the beauty and vitality of traditional and contemporary art.
 
We will be departing from the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa hotel at 5:00 PM by executive motor coaches to the Heard Museum. The reception at the Heard will be held from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and the return coaches will be back at the hotel by 9:00 PM. The Heard is located close to the wonderful restaurants of Scottsdale, should anyone want to have dinner on their own and return by taxi or Uber. We will have a list of Scottsdale restaurants for you to consider at conference registration with contact information for any private reservations you might want to reserve.
