Giving Back to HTM

The Department of Hospitality & Tourism Management (HTM) is committed to serving students and alumni by providing events that create opportunities for networking and industry connections. Each of the events help raise the visibility of HTM and provide support to the growing industry. Your partnership as a corporate sponsor of these events allows HTM to continue creating and sharing new knowledge, preparing students for a rapidly changing business environment, and supporting key organizations through outreach activities. Your contribution as a corporate sponsor awards you with premium exposure to our successful students and graduates and enhances your brand recognition with millennials and industry leaders. These proceeds also support the Stephen Elmont Endowed scholarship fund.
