The Darden Series: Executives in the Classroom is a forum that brings industry leaders into the classroom to discuss with students industry issues, the direction of the industry and strategies for success. Students are given the opportunity to meet the most respected and dynamic leaders in the hospitality and tourism business. Visiting executives share their experiences and knowledge of the industry, offering real-life examples to complement textbook material. This is a significant opportunity for HTM students to broaden their horizons and learn more about the industry.
Hospitality and Tourism Management is appreciative of the generous gift from the Darden Restaurant Foundation that facilitates the executive forum. Consistent with the missions of both Darden and Purdue, the Darden Series promotes engagement and learning between the business and academic communities.
