Sponsor a plaque. Fund a student’s journey at UJ’s School of Tourism & Hospitality.
Support STH Plaque Fundraising initiative"Give with cheer, leave a legacy here that lasts each year."
Behind every great meal is a story of learning, precision, and passion. The School of Tourism and Hospitality (STH) Plaque Fundraising Initiative gives donors the opportunity to directly fund student training through personalized plaques displayed in the STH building.
Every skill deserves a chance to shine.
Each plaque honours your contribution and ensures that hospitality students gain the hands-on experience they need to thrive in the industry.
Each contribution, regardless of size, creates a ripple effect that impacts not only individual students but the entire UJ community and society at large.
In 2025, UJ celebrates 20 years of transformation, innovation, and inclusivity—a legacy deeply embedded in the School of Tourism and Hospitality. Since the Kerzner Building opened in 2005, it has stood as a symbol of collaboration between academia and industry, producing world-class graduates and driving excellence in hospitality and tourism education.
After two decades of shaping future leaders, the Kerzner Building now requires revitalisation to maintain its world-class learning environment. Your contribution helps upgrade critical equipment, technology, furnishings, and infrastructure—ensuring the next generation continues to learn in spaces that match global hospitality standards.
Financial need remains one of the biggest challenges facing tourism and hospitality students. By becoming a bursary sponsor or supporting the plaque campaign, you directly help deserving students access education, complete their qualifications, and enter the industry equipped to excel.
Through the STH Alumni & Industry Plaque Campaign, individuals and organisations can take their place in the Kerzner Building’s living history. Each engraved plaque represents a commitment to skills development, student success, and the advancement of the tourism and hospitality sector. This legacy becomes part of the very walls that shaped thousands of professionals.
