School of Hospitality Management
The Rosen School of Hospitality Management is the newest stand-alone school
at UCF. A gift by local hotelier Harris Rosen, which was the largest gift ever
pledged to the University, made it possible for UCF's Hospitality Management
department to become a separate school. The School has also received a generous
donation from the Orange County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Darden Restaurants.
With these funding sources, which are eligible for state matching funds, UCF's
School of Hospitality Management is poised to join the nation's elite.

Faculty and Staff can be reached at (407) 823-2188. The office is open from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The School's website is www.hospitality.ucf.edu
