Abstract
Fifty years ago, Dr. Abraham Pizam, founding Dean of the Rosen College of Hospitality Management, defended his dissertation entitled "Bringing something new into existence or use, through an industrial suggestion system." To honor Dr. Abraham Pizam, the Rosen College Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series centers on examining the evolution of the hospitality and tourism industry through the eyes of some of the pioneers in this field of education. We took advantage of this occasion to talk to Dean Pizam about his evolution as a scholar.
