Professor Dr. A.J. Singh named the Hilton Hotels Fellow in The School of Hospitality Business at The School of Hospitality Business at Michigan State University

Associate Professor Dr. A.J. Singh has been named the Hilton Hotels Fellow in The School of Hospitality Business at Michigan State University. The newly-created endowed position is funded through The School’s existing Hilton Hotels Professor endowment, created in 1989. Dr. Singh’s responsibilities will primarily include his role as director of The School’s Real Estate and Development Specialization. The Specialization is a highly competitive option for students who are committed to a career in real estate development. A select group is chosen each year for this rigorous twenty-two credit curriculum which requires strong academic performance; extra coursework; an interest in finance; a 400-hour, ten week internship at a hospitality real estate firm; and a serious commitment to this career path. With this Specialization, students prepare for careers in hospitality real estate development firms, acquisition and development departments within major hospitality companies, hospitality consulting/appraisal firms, and mortgage lenders specializing in hotels, real estate acquisition funds, and asset management companies. Students from a variety of majors may enroll in the Specialization, which is designed to supplement their core degrees and increase their professional skills and career options.
