Lecturers exchange notes with American counterparts

Thursday, 20 June 2013
CPUT continues to build strategic partnerships with other international academic institutions, and recently hosted a group of students and staff members from the Johnson and Wales University (JWU) at the Cape Town Hotel School.
JWU is a leading tourism, sport and hospitality education provider in America and its students have been visiting CPUT each year since 2009. This provides them with an incredible opportunity to broaden their understanding of the developing nations in Africa, and the different challenges and opportunities that are provided in our country.
The lecturers of the different institutions usually exchange case study notes and ideas and discuss research collaboration opportunities.
“It (the visit) provides an opportunity for CPUT staff and students to discover and learn more about the courses, curriculum and current issues within the tourism, sport and hospitality sector globally,” says CPUT’s Brendon Knott, a senior lecturer in Sport Management.
Knott shared some of his research which he conducted during the FIFA World Cup in 2010 with the visitors. The JWU group which visited the university in 2010 assisted him with data collection in the fan parks.
Sean Daly, an Assistant Prof at JWU, says they are looking forward to growing their relationship with CPUT and exploring other areas of colloboration.
