Campaign Priorities

• $3 million for an Endowed Directorship
  Funding will help attract and retain an academic leader with a proven track record of academic excellence and the vision to keep SHBM on the leading edge of the hospitality industry.
• $1 million for faculty professorships and fellowships
  First-rate faculty are essential to the College’s pursuit of excellence. Funding for professorships and fellowships enables the College to recruit and retain the world-class teachers and researchers who will continue the program’s legacy of excellence.
• $500,000 for scholarships
  With increasing numbers of high-achieving students and rising tuition costs, scholarships are needed to recruit and retain the brightest students. Scholarships are used to aid recruitment of new students as well as to support current HBM majors.
• $6 million for new equipment and facilities renovation
  World-class programs depend on exceptional learning environments that support the delivery of innovative, real-world instruction. The SHBM is planning a 25,000 square foot space that will house classrooms, a kitchen lab, a wine lab, student breakout rooms, and a faculty dining facility. Concept renderings and naming opportunities for this project are now underway.
