Students Gain Hands-On Experience as
Members of HFTP Student Chapter
The Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) student chapter at SJSU was established in 2012. HFTP is
an international society for financial and technology professionals who work in the hospitality industry with titles such as
general manager, controller, consultant, Director of IT, and accountant. The student chapter at SJSU gives students access
to connect with over 4,500 industry professionals in the areas of hotels, clubs, resorts, restaurants and more.
The student chapter organizes industry guest talks, field study at hospitality technology companies, professional
training, and job seeking assistance. Student members benefit from financial support to attend professional development
conferences and events. In addition, student members have access to benefits that keep them up-to-date with today’s
business practices and help them address challenges specific to hospitality finance and technology.
Recently, the SJSU HFTP Chapter was selected as the Student Chapter of the Year, under the direction of advisor Michelle
Huang, for the second year in a row. Congratulations HFTP!
