Invest in the next generation of hospitality professionals

Every professional can look back on a few defining moments that shaped who they are today. An inspiring guest speaker. A unique company visit. A networking conversation that led to an internship or a first job. 

For many HMSM-students, these valuable experiences take place outside the classroom. It is through these opportunities that they develop initiative, entrepreneurship, leadership skills, and self-confidence. 

Great ideas deserve the chance to become reality. That is why the Extra Mile Fund provides financial support for student-led initiatives, making it easier to organise activities and accessibilety to all students. 

Examples include networking events, competitions, pitch training sessions, and other initiatives organised by Student Association Amphitryon, Study Association IRIS, or groups of students who want to create meaningful experiences for their fellow students. 

Give a gift this Christmas that keeps on growing 

With our year-end campaign, your company can make a direct contribution to the development of current HMSM-students.

Your Christmas bauble will be displayed on the large HMSM Christmas tree in the lobby and will be visible from mid-November until early January.

"At Student Association Amphitryon, we are committed to making a meaningful contribution to the physical and mental well-being of students. That is why, for the first time, we will organise two Wellbeing Weeks during this academic year. Each day will focus on a different theme, such as financial well-being, sports, and nutrition.
