There’s nothing more meaningful than seeing our students take what they’ve learned and carry it across the world. While studying abroad, one of our HMGT students and lead ambassadors, Katelynn Healy, reflected on the impact of the Aggie hospitality community:
“One thing Texas A&M Hospitality has taught me is that support doesn’t stop in the classroom. This department pours into its students long before we realize. I am extremely grateful to be a part of a department that believes in students wholeheartedly.”
From College Station to wherever their journey takes them, we are proud to watch our students shine. Thank you to the McClaren High Impact Experience Fund for supporting our students.

Hospitality is no longer just service. It is data, AI, immersive experiences and intelligent interaction.
The HMGT Digital Transformation Lab at HMGT is pushing the future of hospitality and tourism through GSR, virtual simulation, AI voice analytics and immersive technology research.
This is not just digital transformation.
It is hospitality innovation in action.
