Hospitality and Tourism Administration Instructor, Eve Baum Victory, was certified
by the American Hotel and Lodging Education Institute (AHLEI) as a Certified Hospitality
Educator (CHE). Internationally recognized as the premier source for delivering quality
hospitality education, AHLEI awards the CHE designation to instructors who demonstrate
knowledge and experience, and a commitment to maintaining the highest standard of
competence as a hospitality professional.
David Hughes, Dean of Business, Technical and Early College Programs, said that Eve
has been integral to evolving NPC’s Hospitality and Tourism curriculum into a robust
and competitive program of study. “Attaining the CHE certification will surely be
the first of many professional milestones for Eve,” Hughes stated.
Originally from New York City, Eve Baum Victory holds a Bachelor of Arts degree which
she used to pursue a career in marketing communications and event planning. Working
on both coasts, she has been responsible for rebranding and developing customer communication
strategies for multiple companies as well as managing million dollar tradeshow and
meeting budgets.
Relocating to Hot Springs in 2003, she went back to school to earn an Associate of
Science in Hospitality and upon graduation, created Chiffonade Chef Services, a personal
chef company. Multiple accolades, including the 2012 HSV Chamber Entrepreneur of the
Year Award, attest to Eve’s continual growth and pursuit of learning.
Providing instructional classes at Garvan Woodland Gardens, The Culinary District,
and National Park College’s Hospitality and Tourism Program paved the way for her
to attain a position as NPC's Hospitality and Tourism Administration Instructor. As
an instructor, Eve not only utilizes her professional skill set but is very proud
to have the responsibility of impacting and encouraging students to widen their boundaries
and celebrate their achievements.
