The Significance of the Pineapple

• Symbol of Hospitality American colonists began importing the pineapple from the Caribbean in the 17th century. Due to its seemingly exotic qualities and rareness, the pineapple soon became a symbol of hospitality in early America.  Because trade routes between America and Caribbean islands were often slow and perilous, it was considered a significant achievement for a host to procure a ripe pineapple for guests. Similarly, some accounts tell of New England sea captains who, upon returning from trade routes in the Caribbean or Pacific, would place a pineapple outside their homes as a symbol of a safe return.

History of Hospitality continued…

• Due to its association with warmth and friendliness, pineapples in America were often used as the “crowning” piece in large displays of food.  Similarly, the pineapple symbol was used frequently in the 18th and 19th centuries to decorate bed posts, tablecloths, napkins—anything associated with welcoming guests.  Today, the pineapple remains a fitting symbol for the hospitality industry, and pineapple-themed products still abound.  From lamps to candle holders to salt and pepper shakers and beyond, the pineapple motif says “Welcome!”

HADM 4900 – Frequently asked questions

• How many hours do I have to work?

HADM 4900 requires 400 “units” of hospitality work experience.

If you are a manager or supervisor, you will receive more credit for hours worked involving one credit for every hour worked. Therefore, you would need to work 400 hours. You can also earn one credit per hour for a structured internship program. Structured internship programs provide students with the opportunity to typically work in more than one position and/or department. The employer also supplements the work experience with professional development opportunities.

HADM 4900 – Frequently asked questions

• What are examples of structured internship programs?

Disney World offers a structured internship program. Although a student typically stays in the same position throughout the time, there are weekly educational programs provided. ARAMARK at Turner Field offers a summer program where students do rotate and are included in training sessions, managers’ meetings, etc. The International Woodworking Fair offers a shorter program which involves working during the IWF event in Atlanta. There are numerous other internships but these three provide an example of how “internship” programs can vary.

What if I worked in the industry before entering school …. does that work count?

• That work may count – depending on when and what type of position was involved.

• If a student has worked in a supervisory or management-level position prior to coming to

school, 50% of those work hours can count toward the work study requirement if the position

was held within the last three years.

• We want graduates to have marketable and impressive resumes. If an individual has not

worked in the industry for the last three to five years, more recent work experience is vitally

needed.

• If you need to know if prior work experience will count, e-mail Dr. Cannon (

[email protected]) and provide the position(s) held, dates, hours worked and job

descriptions or a break-down of job duties.

HADM 4900 – Frequently asked questions• Explain what is involved in the work portfolio?

The work portfolio has three main components –

1. An analysis of your work experience

2. An evaluation from at least a current or recent supervisor or manager (which is mailed directly to Dr. Cannon).

3. Proof of your hours worked – through a year-end paycheck stub (if hours are included); a letter from the HR department or top management indicating the hours worked

The work portfolio can be a valuable tool as you are in the job

search process. Employers are increasingly requesting that

applicants provide work portfolios.
