Hospitality & Tourism Management Department

This is your moment to turn #HTMPossibilities into reality!

Join us over the next two days as we come together to raise $60,000 from 50 gifts in support of UMass Amherst Hospitality and Tourism Management.

To inspire your impact, HTM Board Member Denise Coll '75 and Nicholas Sampson '82 CNS are issuing a special challenge to the HTM community: for every 10 gifts made to the department, Denise and Nicholas will contribute $10,000 to support international travel for HTM students—up to $50,000!

“Our HTM students never cease to amaze me,” shares HTM Department Chair Melissa Baker. “They are the best possible ambassadors for our industry—always speaking with passion about UMass HTM and the generosity of our alumni. It makes a real difference in their experience.”

UMassGives is our annual opportunity to give back and uplift the next generation of hospitality leaders.

Think back—what shaped your hospitality education? What drives your passion today? Your gift, no matter the size, helps HTM support students in meaningful ways.

An unrestricted gift to the HTM Department allows us to:

  • Address students’ most immediate needs
  • Recruit the next generation of HTM changemakers
  • Create hands-on learning and real-world industry connections
  • Fuel career success and unlock #HTMPossibilities
  • Expand access to scholarships and ensure every student can thrive

Let’s rally together and show our HTM pride—your support means the world to our students!

“I have always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world, but I never knew it was possible because I knew we could not afford it. As small as it sounds, this scholarship enabled me to achieve my dreams.” Jayden Bryant 

"Without this scholarship, participating in such a life-changing journey would be unachievable. The program was immensely beneficial in expanding my understanding of different cultural intricacies, and the hands-on learning experience is something that has shaped my professional outlook. Your investment in my education is something I deeply appreciate.” Keana Brown
