Welcome from the Dean

Welcome, Future Hospitality Leaders and Friends of Collins College!

At Cal Poly Pomona’s Collins College of Hospitality Management, you don’t just learn by doing—you become by doing. From running The Restaurant at Kellogg Ranch to completing professional experiences with top organizations, our students gain the confidence, skills and creativity to thrive in the global hospitality industry.

But Collins is more than academics—it’s a community. Faculty, staff, alumni and industry partners all come together to support, mentor and celebrate our students. Every member of our Bronco family plays a role in shaping the future of hospitality.

We’re thrilled to have you as part of our community—whether you’re a student, alum, industry partner or friend. Together, we’re building a brighter future for hospitality.
