• Resumen

  • This research looked at perceptions of college students following the events of September 11, 2001. Results showed that students have made substantial changes in their arrival time prior to their flight leaving, and 49.7% are “slightly more concerned” over flying. A majority of students (77.1%) have changed their mail handling procedures. A sizable portion (17.8%) said a company recruiter, that they would like to interview with, cancelled their campus semester visit because of the events of September 11. Hospitality and Tourism Management students had significantly lower salary expectations than non-HTM students now as compared to before September 11.
