Dear Company Representative,
On behalf of the Hospitality & Tourism Management
(HTM) Department at the Isenberg School of Management,

on the East Coast. We strive to provide Infinite Pathways
to Your Future, whether you are seeking hourly associates,
interns, managers or new connections.
The HTM program at UMass Amherst is consistently ranked
as one of the best in the country. In 2014, BusinessWeek
ranked the Isenberg School of Management as a Top 50
program (36th) in the country, and Top 20 (14th) among
public universities. Additionally, BusinessWeek ranked
Isenberg in the Top 10% (11th) for Recruiter Satisfaction.
That being said, what really makes our students stand apart
from students at other universities is how satisfied recruiters, like you, are with Isenberg HTM students. The students
in the HTM department, as well as in the Isenberg School of
Management, are well prepared, enthusiastic, and have an
unrivaled work ethic. They are constantly striving to evolve
and enhance themselves as students, members of the
community, and future industry leaders.
The HTM Career Day is not only one of the most highly
anticipated events within the department, but for all of
Isenberg. Career Day provides multiple networking
opportunities including a complimentary breakfast, lunch,

“UMass HTM provided
me with a diverse
hands-on experience

and unique opportunities
like the HTM Career Day

this competitive field.”
