Improving the lives of individuals and families and helping to build
a healthy society continued to be an ongoing goal for the School in
the 1990s. To do this, the School looked beyond its boundaries to
the corporate community and recognized the value in forming strategic
partnerships. During this time, all four of the School’s departments
developed initiatives directed toward business, and corporations began
to play important roles in research, teaching, and outreach. It was
also a time to renovate, and both Fowler House and the Child Development
and Family Studies Building were extensively remodeled to accommodate
new programs such as the Center for Families, established in 1994.
Foodservice facilities were remodeled in 1993-94, expanding the John
Purdue Room kitchen and redesigning the RHIT Café ("tourism"
was added to the department of restaurant, hotel, and institutional
management in 1992). Dennis Savaiano was appointed dean in 1995, following
the death of Dean Felker in 1992.
