Hospitality & Tourism Management Department
This year is your year to make #HTMPossibilities a reality! We hope you will join us over these next two days as we strive to raise $75,000 from 67 gifts.
UMass Amherst Trustee Robert Epstein '67 is challenging the Hospitality and Tourism Management community to get involved and give happy. For every 1 gift to the department, Bob will generously contribute $1,000 in scholarship support, up to a total of $67,000!
“Our HTM students never cease to amaze me. They are the best possible ambassadors for everything that hospitality and tourism is about. Whenever they speak to prospective students and network with alumni, they always mention their love of UMass HTM and how their experiences are enhanced through the generosity of our alumni,” says HTM Department Chair Melissa Baker.
UMass Gives is our annual chance to give this love back to the students.
What made a difference in your hospitality education? What are you passionate about in your career? Your gift can help support students in a number of ways. An unrestricted gift allows HTM to:
- Identify the most pressing needs of our students
- Attract the next generation of HTM students
- Provide student experiential learning and industry engagement outside of the classroom
- Promote career success, opportunities, and #HTMPossibilities to future industry managers and leaders
- Expand access to our high-quality HTM scholarships to all
Your gifts impact and enhance the HTM student experience. Thank you!
