Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
The Wharton Undergraduate Hospitality and Travel Club was established to provide
a forum for students to increase their knowledge, grow their network, and gain
exposure to the hospitality and travel industries through speaker, recruiting, and
networking events as well as behind-the-scenes visits to hotels and restaurants. As
of 2014, travel and tourism provided 9% of global GDP, with the industry providing
1 in every 11 jobs. Despite this, there are no clear educational and career paths at
Wharton for students interested in this fascinating industry. Our club began with
the purpose of closing this gap by not only educating the undergraduate community
about opportunities in the industry but also providing actual pathways through
networking and career-oriented events to join full time after graduation.

Membership Benefits
Throughout the year, WUHT hosts a series of events ranging from guest speaker
series to physical hotel treks in order to engage our members and achieve our
mission. The annual career conference, our biggest event each year, brings together
professionals from all areas of hospitality and travel, from restaurants to
publications to real estate investment trusts and everything in between. It is a
successful event that allows our students to directly interact with companies for
formal and informal networking and recruitment. The Wharton Undergraduate
Hospitality and Travel Club continues to bring the Wharton undergraduate
community closer to interacting with all aspects of the world's largest employer as
an industry.
