Our Student Organization, Knights of the RELM
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
Within HTMS is the student organization, Knights of the RELM
The Knights of the RELM works in association with the United Abolitionists, and It’s a Penalty. As members of Knights of the RELM, we fight against human trafficking and modern-day slavery along with other social issues within the industry.
Our mission at Knights of the RELM is to be service leaders of change through impact, legacy, development, and sustainability in events, specifically mega-events on a local, national, and global scale. We aim to accomplish our mission through the creation of 360-degree value of events through student development; effectively teaching about the duality of events, particularly mega-events, with a focus on residential community impact; and increasing student involvement in mega-events and the knowledge to aid in the prevention of human trafficking.

Testimonials
The reason why I joined KOTR is because I was interested in learning more about how present Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery is in the world around us. By joining KOTR, I would be able to get educated and raise more awareness for such an important cause. ”
I love working in RELM because it gives me the chance to make a real difference in my community and industry. Once I learned about the problem at hand, I knew I had to do something and this organization gives me the chance to do just that.”
I joined Knights of the RELM to make a positive impact on my peers, spreading awareness of human trafficking and anti-trafficking efforts. The issue of human trafficking has been a cause close to my heart due to its relevance to my communities, in Las Vegas and South Florida. Knights of the RELM has inspired my personal mission to use in events as a platform to spread positive social change in my future career.”
I joined RELM because I wanted to make an impact not only on my campus but in my city. Getting the resources to everyone will help end sex trafficking one step at a time.”
Joining RELM is incredibly important to me because it gives me the chance to shine a light on human trafficking in the hospitality industry, a topic I’m deeply passionate about. By working together with fellow students on campus, we can spread this vital message and inspire future hospitality leaders to prioritize prevention and protect those who are most vulnerable.”
