The Collins School of Hospitality Management is housed in the James and Carol Collins Center for Hospitality Management. The Center is specifically designed for this program and houses a public, student-operated full-service restaurant as well as additional laboratory, classroom, and administration facilities. The Kellogg West Conference Center and Lodge, adjacent to the Collins School, is also available for laboratory use.
Jim and Carol Collins have provided the school with a generous endowment and building gift. The Collins School is also endowed with the Richard N. Frank Distinguished Lectureship Series and the Richard A. and Nancy A. Murbach Endowment Scholarship in Free Enterprise. The School also oversees approximately $100,000 in scholarships available to eligible students each year.
The Collins School of Hospitality Management links theory and practice to provide its students with a quality education, to foster the professional development of hospitality professionals, and to conduct applied research for the hospitality industry.
The Collins School of Hospitality Management will be the global model of hospitality education.
