Hospitality & Tourism Management Department

UMassGives is a two-day event when alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends inspire and encourage each other to give to the Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) Department and to Isenberg. In 2022, 61 donors contributed nearly $14,000 to support the department. This year we are striving to raise $115,000 from at least 100 gifts!

HTM Board Member Fred Mitzner '86 is challenging the Hospitality and Tourism Management community to get involved and help ensure that our program remains exceptional. For every 10 gifts that are made, Fred will generously contribute $10,000 to support HTM students, up to a total of $100,000!


Making a gift to the HTM Department is more important than ever. As we grow and enhance experiential learning for our students, your financial support helps to ensure that our program continues to prepare students for a rapidly changing business world, through attendance at industry conferences, support for extracurricular activities and Leadership Club activities, and more.

Additionally, your donations will allow us to continue to fund our Stephen E. Elmont Alumni of the Year Endowed Scholarship, which due to your generosity, has grown enough to allow us to award two students the past several years as opposed to only one. In the words of one of our 2023 Stephen E. Elmont Alumni of the Year Scholarship recipients:

“This scholarship will ease the burden for myself and my family. I am grateful to be part of such a caring and generous community. Isenberg has already opened many doors for my future career, and I am thrilled to continue my academic career here.”
