HMGT Preferred Partner Program

The HMGT Day Dinner reception, held in the AgriLife Center. A large digital screen on stage displays "HMGT Day Unity Dinner" above illuminated marquee letters "HMGT," as speakers address the audience from a podium.

As we expand our Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism programs at Texas A&M University, we’re excited to introduce the HMGT Preferred Partner Program—a collaborative initiative designed to connect industry leaders with our students and faculty.

Being a key partner in this endeavor, reflecting our commitment to preparing students for leadership roles in the hospitality and tourism sectors, this program aims to strengthen our partnerships and provide mutual benefits through shared resources and opportunities.

We invite you to join our group of Preferred Partners with a tax-deductible contribution.
