Last year, the HTM Society became one of the few student organizations to establish an endowment. Committed to supporting our student volunteers, this endowment fund sponsors annual student volunteer awards: one for the service team, one for the wine service team, and one for the culinary team. Volunteers that portray exceptional work ethic, attitude, leadership, and commitment to hospitality are nominated, and finalists are selected by an independent panel consisting of the Black Tie Dinner Board together with HTM faculty and staff. We have committed to growing this endowment, and ask that our supporters consider contributing to this student led effort now and into the future.

If you'd like to gather more information or have any questions regarding the endowment fund, please feel free to contact the Board at purdueblacktie@gmail.com.
